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.
'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.
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.
