NWFP minister says TNSM only wants power

PESHAWAR: The NWFP minister Bashir Bilour has said that TNSM wants its own rule, not Sharia, in Malakand division, DawnNews reported.

Bilour while talking to media in Peshawar said that it is the Security forces which are responsible for the establishment of peace in the region.

He went on to say that Darul Qaza has been established in Malakand Division as per the requirements of Sharia and Nizam-e-Adl, and in accordance with the demands of the TNSM and the people.

According to the minister, it stood to reason that the people who have taken up arms do not want its practical implementation, and wish simply to seize power for themselves.

He says government has fully authorised the security forces to establish its writ in swat and other areas.
