| Get Taliban out of NWFP: Shia clerics |
| 2008-06-19 |
| Shia clerics have condemned bomb blasts and the killings of Shias in Dera Ismail Khan, Hangu and Parachinar and called for local Taliban to be driven out of the NWFP. Allama Hussain Masoodi said his community was silent but not weak, and that the Taliban in the NWFP should be evacuated at once. Syed Muhammad Aun Naqvi said that the new government in the NWFP had failed to maintain law and order. “The silence of the government and Fazlur Rehman after the killings is disappointing,” he said. “The NWFP government has proved it cannot control the situation after giving Parachinar to the [local] Taliban.” Shia clerics and orators held a protest in front of Karachi Press Club on Wednesday, in which they also condemned the abduction of a Khairpur Shia cleric Irshad Naqvi. |
