Pakistan has banned the books of social studies in the private schools of the Punjab province when the Kashmir is shown as part of India in the map of the country. A government body has demanded action against the Punjab Education and Textbook Board (PCTB) on this mistake.
In order to make such a 'serious mistake', a complaint has also been filed in Lahore Police for registering a criminal case against the publishers of books and the administration of private schools.
All the district officials in the province have been instructed to seize these books from the private schools' warehouse. PCTB Managing Director Abdul Qayyum on Thursday issued a notification and banned the books of social studies in the private schools of entire Punjab province with immediate effect.
