PESHAWAR: The NWFP government has decided to crush all Taliban whose agenda deviates from the true teachings of Islam and the Nizam-e-Adl, Awami National Party (ANP) Senior Minister Bashir Ahmed Bilour said on Tuesday.
“Our party has decided to do or die in the war against the terrorists who are following a different agenda and have nothing to do with Islam or sharia,” Bilour said while addressing a ceremony in honour of Pashtuns killed in the May 12, 2007 violence in Karachi.
He paid tributes to the Pashtuns killed in the tragedy and demanded the Supreme Court take suo motu action against those involved in the murders.
Bilour said the ANP government had taken parties into confidence before it went to war against the Taliban. “We will exterminate them and restore the writ of the government at all costs,” he said.
The senior minister said the implementation of the Nizam-e-Adl was a popular demand and the ANP government had enforced it for the masses, not for a single person. “The peace agreement is intact and will remain so,” he said, while calling on the Taliban to lay down weapons. “The war will continue until they (Taliban) surrender,” Bilour said.
IDPs: He said the government had so far registered around 1.1 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) from Swat, Buner, Lower Dir and Shangla, but a large number still remained unregistered.
“The government is expecting about 2 million IDPs,” he said.
Bilour asked the people not to give donations for IDPs to unauthorised individuals and organisations in order to prevent misuse of funds.
He said the ANP-led government had set up 22 relief camps in the province and 80 entry points had been established to register the IDPs.
