Madrassas ask for foreign support
Many foreign students may go to India to complete their studies
One of Pakistan's largest madrassas, or religious institutions, has turned to foreign diplomats in a bid to overturn a recent ban on foreign students.
The head of Karachi's Jamia Binoria school told the BBC news website that "all foreign diplomats in Pakistan" had been invited to visit the schools.
The schools want President Musharraf to rethink his ban on foreign students.
Madrassas became a centre of attention after reports that a London bomber had studied in one of them.
Jamia Binoria has over 100 foreign students, many from Europe and the US.
