PM Forms National Youth Council, Accepts Madrassa Registration Bill Demands

In a significant development, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has formed a National Youth Council to empower the youth of Pakistan. The council will comprise ministers of youth affairs from provinces, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan, and 113 youth representatives aged 10-29. This move is expected to provide a platform for young people to voice their concerns and contribute to the country's development. Meanwhile, the federal government has accepted all demands of the Ittehad Tanzeemat-e-Madaris Deenia (ITMD) regarding the contentious madrassa registration bill. The government has assured to register all madrassas under the Societies Registration Act, 1860, which is a major concession to the ITMD. The registration of madrassas will now be done in a transparent and fair manner, bringing an end to the controversy surrounding the bill. These developments are expected to have a positive impact on the country's youth and education sector, and are a testament to the government's commitment to empowering the youth and promoting education.
