PART I

DIRECTIVE PRINCIPLES OF STATE POLICY

1. The Objectives Resolution

 The Objectives Resolution should be incorporated in the Constitution as a Directive Principle of State Policy, subject to the provision that this will not prejudice the incorporation of Fundamental Rights in the Constitution at the proper place.

2. Education

 It is not possible to enumerate the details of such activities in the Constitution. The incorporation of the Objectives Resolution, however, as a Directive Principle of State Policy would guide the Governments of the Centre and the Units in this respect.

 An important point in this connection is the provision of facilities for the Muslims to understand what life in accordance with the Holy Quran and the Sunna means and, therefore, the Committee, among other things, lays particular emphasis on the compulsory teaching of the Holy Quran to the Muslims.
