The government should either restore peace to the Malakand Division or implement shariah law across the region, Dawn News quoted Tehreek Nifaz Shariat-i-Muhammadi (TNSM) chief Sufi Muhammad as saying. According to the channel, the TNSM chief made the demand in a news conference at a rest house in Timergarah where he has been leading a protest camp for the last six days. He said the TNSM believed in a peaceful struggle for the enforcement of shariah law in Malakand. He said the TNSM was not against the government or any other political party, but said the government should honour the wishes of the locals by enforcing Shariah in the area. Sufi said he would never close doors for dialogue with the government.The channel also reported that the NWFP government had formed a committee to convince Sufi to end his protest camp. |
