PESHAWAR: Police arrested 24 activists of a banned religious organisation, Tehrik-e-Nifaz Shariah Muhammade (TNSM), for setting TVs, CDs, and VCDs on fire during their campaign against obscenity and vulgarity in Manglawara and Charbagh. Interior Minster Aftab Ahmed Khan Sherpao told reporters in Islamabad that the government would take stern action against people involved in the incident. He said that nobody could stop people from watching TV. "The activists were booked ... for terrorising people in the area," Manglawara Station House Officer Khaista Rehman told Daily Times. She said that TNSM leaders including Dost Muhammad Khan, Muhammad Anwar, Fazal and Tajud Din had been arrested. According to eyewitnesses, the activists bought VCDs, VCRs, TVs and VCDs, and set them on fire along with shops. Residents of the area also joined the campaign after clerics threatened them. Clerics used loudspeakers to tell people to join hands with them. Eyewitnesses said that the activists also launched a door-to-door campaign to 'motivate' people.
