Gen (retd) Javed Ashraf Qazi while commenting on a statement of the US State Department's spokesperson.
“Some sentences of the derogatory nature were pointed out in the past in some textbooks, which the education ministry also considered wrong,” the minister told the reporters.
He said the concerned provincial Text Book Board was asked to delete it. He added that the entire curriculum was under review to make it modern and progressive yet keeping the Islamic content intact.
Qazi said that Islam believes in respect for rights of the minorities and other religions.
The minister said the issue was brought up during his visit to the United States and he had promised to look into it if any concrete reference was produced.
