After having detailed deliberations and discussions, following decisions having been taken including with regard to issue of registration of madaris, it was agreed that the provinces will discuss the points raised by ITMP in this meeting with their administrative and political leadership and hold meeting with ITMP to resolve the issues and expedite the process of registration.
The chair reiterated that verification of the particulars submitted by madaris may be done as per the specified procedures, but timelines must be fixed and verification must be completed within stipulated time period to avoid unnecessary delay. Also the registration must be done on standardized format and under single authority.
The meeting also agreed that ITMP will share a list of madaris facing issues in opening of bank accounts with the NACTA and the SBP will share the circulars notified for establishing consumer protection department to address the grievances of customers with the NACTA and the ITMP.
