| TNSM creating hurdles to peace: NWFP minister |
| 2009-05-04 |
| The Tehreek-e-Nifaz-e-Shariat-e-Muhammadi (TNSM) is placing hurdles in the path to peace by making spurious demands, NWFP Information Minister Iftikhar Hussain said on Sunday. He said the government had fulfilled its promise by establishing the Darul Qaza, and it was now the responsibility of the TNSM to keep its commitments, a private TV channel reported. The qazis appointed to the Darul Qaza would be experts of Islamic jurisprudence, as agreed upon in the Swat agreement, he added. Hussain said that if anyone took up arms and challenged the writ of the state following the establishment of qazi courts, the government would use all its resources to stop them at all costs. According to APP, Hussain said the NWFP government chose speedy establishment of Darul Qaza to ensure a delay in implementation was not blamed for failure of the deal. |

| #1 "...(TNSM) is placing hurdles in the path to peace by making spurious demands." I would consider the murder and kidnapping, etc. probably also a hurdle to the path to peace but then I don't understand Pakland that well. |
