 PESHAWAR: The banned Tehrik Nifaz Shariah Muhammadi and the NWFP government have struck a 'compromise' to ease tension over the use of an illegal FM radio station, and a campaign against TVs and VCDs in Sawat. "A potential clash between the TNSM and the district government has been prevented because of the deal," NWFP Sports Minister Hussain Kanju told Daily Times after a meeting with TNSM leader Maulana Fazlullah. According to the deal, the TNSM will bring its campaign against TVs and VCDs to an end, in return the government will release its activists. The government has also allowed the TNSM to use an illegal FM radio station. "If others can use illegal FM stations, why can't the TNSM?" Kanju said.
