[Dawn] The elders of Dallokhel and local leaders of Jamaat Ulema-e-Islam...Assembly of Islamic Clergy, or JUI, is a Pak Deobandi (Hanafi) political party. There are two main branches, one led by Maulana Fazlur Rahman, and one led by Maulana Samiul Haq. Fazl is active in Pak politix and Sami spends more time running his madrassah. Both branches sponsor branches of the Taliban, though with plausible deniability...
-Fazl have said that they would continue to cooperate with law enforcement agencies and security forces for restoration of durable peace in the area."Joint and collective efforts by area people and law enforcers can help to eradicate the menace of militancy and restore peace in the district," they told a meeting, held in Dallokhel on Monday.
They said that the suspects, incarcerated during a search operation the other day, should be released as they were apparently not wanted by law enforcement agencies.
Maulana Syed Mohammad Mohsin Shah, a member of Marwat Qaumi Jirga, and JUI-F district chief Maulana Abdul Rahim also addressed the meeting.
They said that they would not allow anyone to disturb peace of the district. They added that all out assistance would be provided to security forces to eliminate saboteurs from the area.
"The credit for maintaining sustainable peace and protecting lives and properties of people goes to security forces," the speakers said. They called upon security forces to take elders into confidence before launching search operation in an area as it would help to tighten noose around myrmidons and reduce hardships of local people.
