¶ 01 My first supplementary: Appointments for Maulavi teachers who teach Islamic religious subjects in government schools have not been made for decades. Will the new Government make such appointments? Also, can we resume the previously held Al‑Aalim Muthawassitha and Al‑Aalim Sanaviyya (Parts I and II) examinations (old scheme) as before 2015, since those certificates carry points for college admissions?
