Sufi leaves Swat in protest against Nizam-e-Adl delay

First noted yesterday; follow-up here.
MINGORA: Sufi Muhammad wrapped up his “peace camp” in Swat on Thursday, in protest against the delay in the implementation of Nizam-e-Adl Regulation.

“But the peace deal with the provincial government is intact,” Sufi Muhammad, head of Tehreek Nifaz-e-Shariat-Muhammadi, told a news conference before moving out of the district. “If something unpleasant happens after our peace camp has been wrapped up, President Asif Zardari will be held responsible,” Sufi read a written statement in Pushto. He said the federal government was not sincere.

TNSM spokesman Amir Izzat Khan said Sufi Muhammad left for Amandara town in Malakand where he will chair a shura meeting. “The ball is now in the president’s court,” he told Daily Times. Malakand Commissioner Syed Muhammad Javed said the federal government would sign the regulation soon. “This stage will be crossed, like other stages.”
