'Pak-Taliban chief's Sharia ideology incorrect'

Lahore, Apr. 21 (ANI): Pak-Taliban chief Sufi Muhammad's Islamic ideology and Sharia implementation in Swat are incorrect, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman has said.

The News quoted Rehman, as saying that the procedure for enforcing Sharia in Swat was not correct and the recommendations of the Council of Islamic Ideology (CII) should be implemented in this regard.

Addressing a press briefing, Rehman said if democratic institutions had made necessary legislation for Islamic laws in the past, there would have been no complaints about Maulana Soofi Muhammad.

He added that the reason for the unrest in the NWFP was the deviation from the Islamic legislation.

Rehman also expressed surprise over the approval of Nizam-e-Adl Regulations in Swat by the same political parties, which had raised a hue and cry against the Hisba Bill.

"The MQM is implementing foreign agenda by opposing the Nizam-e-Adl in Swat," he added.

Rehman termed US drone attacks lethal blows to the national security and solidarity, and unfortunately they were not being taken seriously by the Zardari Government.

"Such conspiracies (drone attacks) are being hatched to ignite sectarian riots in the country. A strategy should be evolved to counter drone attacks. The situation in the NWFP, Fata, Balochistan and Sindh had jeopardized the existence of the country," he said. (ANI)
