KARACHI: Defying the Sindh government’s orders of ending educational activities at the religious seminaries, madrassas’ administrators on Friday said they are only supposed to follow the instructions of their representative boards regarding continuing with academic activities at the madrassas or shutting them down.
After the recent spike in coronavirus cases across the country, the federal and Sindh governments had announced the closure of schools and all other educational institutions from November 26 onwards. However, madrassas across the country, including Sindh, did not comply with the order and continued with their educational activities.
