Punjab Govt approves Khatamun Nabiyeen University

The Punjab government has decided to establish Khatamun Nabiyeen (PBUH) University in Lahore.

The Quran Institute in Mian Mir will host the university under the Auqaf Department. The Khatamun Nabiyeen (PBUH) University Bill was accepted in principle by the Cabinet's Standing Committee on Legislative Business (SCCLB) during a meeting presided over by Minister for Parliamentary Affairs, Environmental Protection, and Cooperatives Raja Basharat.

Law Minister Khurram Shahzad Virk, Law Secretary Akhtar Javed, and Higher Education Secretary Ahmed Raza Sarwar also participated in the meeting.

Raja Basharat, the committee's chairman, offered the Law Department more recommendations to make about the draft. According to Chairman Imran Khan's vision of the Riast-e-Madinah, he said that the Punjab government had taken a variety of actions to support Khatm-e-Nabuwat. These actions had been carried out on the orders of Chief Minister Ch Pervaiz Elahi.

SCCLB also considered on ways to guard against mistakes in the Punjabi translation of the Quran. On this occasion, it was proposed that the Qur'an Board be given the authority to handle printing problems and, if required, change the law.

The Public Sector Universities Amendment Act was also approved at a Cabinet Committee meeting. In accordance with the proposed law, the provincial chancellor must follow the provincial cabinet's recommendations when appointing the vice chancellor of any public institution.
