President Asif Ali Zardari has signed the madrassa registration bill into law ending the weeks-long friction with the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl today.
With the signature of the president the bill has become a law and the National Assembly will soon issue the gazette notification of the Societies Registration Act .
Under the law, the registration of religious madrasas will be in accordance with the Societies Act.
It should be remembered that two days ago, the Federal Cabinet accepted the demand of Maulana Fazlur Rehman and approved the issuance of Presidential Ordinance on Registration of Madrasahs, while a delegation of JUI-F had met President Asif Zardari in Larkana yesterday.
PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari was also present on this occasion.
Apart from the political situation, there was a detailed discussion between the leadership of the PPP and the leaders of the Jamiat Ulema Islam Sindh on the Madrasas Registration Bill.
President Asif Ali Zardari had assured to remove the concerns and resolve the matter as soon as possible.
