| JUI-F warns of overthrowing NWFP government over Islamic banking |
| 2008-12-22 |
| Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) provincial President Gul Naseeb on Sunday warned the JUI-F will overthrow the NWFP government if it abolished the Islamic banking system in the Bank of Khyber (BoK). "We shall overthrow the government within a month if they end the Islamic banking system in BoK," Naseeb told the 'Mulk Bachao' or save the country conference organised by his party at the Nishtar Hall. He accused the Awami National Party-led government of working on a strategy to pave the way for a greater Pakhtunistan. Installation of billboards showing maps of Pakhtunistan was part of the same 'conspiracy', he added. He claimed that instead of taking steps to improve the situation, the provincial government was deliberately worsening it as "a conspiracy to dismember the country". Naseeb alleged the ANP government was responsible for breaching the peace agreement with the Swat-based Taliban, adding that the government now planned to create a Swat-like situation in other districts of NWFP as well. The JUI-F leader said the provincial government could have saved the May 21 truce with the Swat Taliban if it wanted to. About law and order, Naseeb said the lives and property of citizens were at stake. Even the chief minister and ministers were unable to come out of their offices and residences, he added. |
