FAISALABAD, April 6: The Jamiat Talaba Arabia, an organization working for the protection of seminaries, has announced the launch of a 'Save Madaris Campaign' from April 15.

Jamiat chief Hafiz Sajid Anwar and office-bearers of other organizations said at a news conference here on Tuesday that the West had declared religious institutions as chambers of terror, which was a wrong impression. Efforts would be made by the students of seminaries to restore the confidence of world community.

They claimed that the seminaries were teaching students Islamic values and there was no place for the training of terrorism. They said the Save Madaris campaign would be launched in big cities under which students would be prepared to respond the ill-conceived policies of the government. If the government failed to change its policy on seminaries, the students would be left with no option but to stage protests.

SUICIDE: The father of five children committed suicide by taking poison over financial problems in Chak 195-GB of Mamukanjan on Tuesday. Salim was jobless for the last couple of years due to which his family was facing serious financial problems.

FIVE 'CHEATS' HELD: Anti-Corruption Establishment have reportedly arrested five people, including a woman, on the charge of committing fraud. An ACE team held an inquiry on receiving a number of complaints against members of land mafia and found five people Najamul Hasan, Rab Nawaz, Muhammad Akram, Tanvir and Ms Dani in selling land on forged documents. They were arrested from Tandlianwala.
