| 2008-09-11 |
| The NWFP government will enforce shariah in Malakand Division during Ramazan, a government spokesman said on Wednesday. "We are trying to implement the Nizam-e-Adl Regulations," Information Minister Mian Iftikhar Hussain told journalists after a meeting of the provincial cabinet, which was chaired by Chief Minister Ameer Haider Hoti. Iftikhar said the CM would soon meet the representatives from Malakand, following which shariah laws would be implemented. He also said that a jirga of NWFP legislators, to be led by the CM, would call on the prime minister and demand Rs 110 billion as the province's share on account of net hydel profit. "A five percent royalty will be given to the district where natural resources were discovered," he added. |
