We would not allow any body to abolish Islamic teachings from the curriculum, he said and warned Punjab government not to interfere in the matters of the madrassas and mosques, otherwise the government would have to face strong resistance. Maulana Ghafoor demanded that the President, Asif Ali Zardari should sign the peace agreement of Swat otherwise, both provincial and federal governments will be responsible for any unpleasant incident happening in the country.
Right now we are not separating from the government, he said adding that drone attacks could stop only when the government will stop giving logistic support and air bases to America.
