The Swat militants declared a 10-day unilateral ceasefire in the valley on Sunday, as NWFP Chief Minister Ameer Haider Khan Hoti is set to announce implementation of Nizam-e-Adl Regulation in Malakand Division after talks with Tanzim Nifaz Shariat-e-Muhammadi (TNSM) chief Maulana Sufi Muhammad.
A delegation of the provincial government comprising NWFP Information Minister Mian Iftikhar Hussain, Livestock Minister Hidayatullah and Awami National Party’s central information secretary Zahid Khan met the founding chief of TNSM and signed the declaration for the enforcement of Nizam-e-Adl Regulation in seven districts of Malakand Division.
During the talks, the two sides reached an understanding over the implementation of the regulation, creating high hopes for peace in militancy-hit Swat Valley. Soon after the successful talks between the NWFP government and Sufi Muhammad, Swat militants led by his son-in-law Maulana Fazlullah, announced a 10-day unilateral ceasefire in the valley.
However, spokesman for the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Swat chapter Muslim Khan warned that they would respond if attacked by the security forces. The success of talks between TNSM and the government and subsequent announcement of ceasefire heightened hopes of peace in Swat, where people were euphoric after the new development. There was also a wave of happiness across Dir.
“We will accept the Nizam-e-Adl Regulation approved by Sufi Muhammad and will certainly stop our armed struggle for the enforcement of Shariah because it has been our demand. We are not mischief-mongers,” he added.
“We have not signed any agreement today but the declaration of tomorrowís (Monday) meeting in which the chief minister will announce the enforcement of Nizam-e-Adl Regulation. We have only signed a document which said that a judicial system based on the Holy Quran, Hadith, Qias and Ijma will be established and all un-Islamic laws and practices will be scraped,” Amir Izzat, spokesman for TNSM, told The News.
