Islamabad: Shocking
Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa lawmakers with its factual errors, a
Pashto textbook for Class 5 students says the 9/11 terror attack
happened in 2011 and the general elections will be held in the
country in February 2008.
Lawmakers in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly were left stunned when an
opposition member pointed out errors in the book, reported Dawn.
"At times incidents occur, which hugely affect human history and
re-write a new one. Like 'September 11, 2011' incident in America
is before us. The incident occurs in America but the whole world
got affected," said the social study book recently introduced by
the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Textbook Board Peshawar.
9/11 refers to the Sep 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Centre
complex in New York and the Pentagon, killing nearly 3,000 people.
Mufti Said Janan, who highlighted the matter, wondered as to how
the people could expect any good from the government when it was
distorting facts and history.
The lawmaker read several paragraphs from the book. Thousands of
copies have been published in Pashto and distributed among
students free of cost.
A paragraph said general elections will be held in the country in
February 2008.
The general elections are scheduled to be held in 2013.
