| 2009-04-23 |
| Qazis will soon be appointed to courts in Malakand division, Tehreek-e-Nifaz-e-Shariat-e-Muhammadi (TNSM) said on Wednesday, as the banned TNSM threatened to back out of the Swat peace accord if the government did not establish qazi courts in the region today (Thursday). Talking to a delegation led by Malakand Nazim Haji Fida Muhammad, the TNSM chief said the names of the people to be nominated as qazis had been sent to the government for approval. He said he had already taken steps to ensure lasting peace in the region and was sure that not only the people of Malakand but the entire country would see the benefits of the Nizam-e-Adl Regulation (NAR). Sufi said the problems in the country could be resolved through the implementation of Islamic laws and that was what the TNSM was striving for. Warning: Meanwhile, TNSM spokesman Ameer Izzat warned that the TSNM would back off from the peace deal if the government did not establish the Darul Qaza and the qazi courts in Malakand division today. Izzat told Daily Times the TNSM chief had said cases continued to be heard under the British judicial system even after President Asif Ali Zardari had signed the NAR and it was unacceptable for them. "The TNSM guarantees to restore peace in Malakand division if the NAR is implemented in its true sense. Otherwise, the government will be responsible for the law and order situation," the spokesman said. He said the Taliban had started armed patrols in the region again because of the government's delay in implementing the Swat peace accord. |
