After an intense, and sometimes tense, debate in Parliament, Asif Ali Zardari’s government has now promulgated the ‘Nizam-e-Adl’ regulation in Swat. The deal is now official. In this ATP Poll, we would like to ask you if you think that this deal will still be standing in 3 month’s time and, whether it would or not, who (government or Taliban) would be stronger?
There are, of course, other questions related to the Nizam i Adl deal. For example, will this spur more demands from other areas for similar regulations? Will this actally bring peace and justice to Malakand? What form of Shariah will actually be implemented? What effect will this deal have on the ruling coalition itself?
These, and other questions may not be part of the Poll – which focusses only on whether the deal will last 3 months and who will emerge stronger out of this at the 3-month mark. However, we hope that readers will discuss these – and any other – larger questions about just what the implications of this Nizam-i-Adl deal will be on Swat and all over Pakistan.
It was death warrant of Pakistan that the President signed not Nizam-e-Adl.
Welcome to “Talibanistan.”
Its not matter of winning or loose, the main thing is the peace has been restored at SWAT. This was and this is the main issue to have PEACE at anycost at Swat.
Because of that unrest the whole country was suffering from financial losses to health, education, communication, the whole country was on Risk. Now at least as far as Swat is concerned we can give full consideration to the other areas now easily.
Why we forget that our Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) has done the truce with Jews of Madina to give full consideration to the Mecca fighters. And he did the Truce of Hudaibiya with them also to stop the bloodshed and meanwhile when his community get strong enough and the enemies were not stopping their enmities and fighting then he fought with them till they come into senses. Don’t forget in his whole life he fought rather in Self Defense fought wars, around 84 war/battles and from his side less than 500 martyred, whereas from non-Muslims around 1500 killed only in all 84 battles.
So truce with Taliban will give:
a. Peace at Swat and as whole in Country.
b. Get time to find out who else were/are involved those are doing under the name of Taliban and trying their best not to have peace in Pakistan.
c. Meanwhile will come to know the sincerity of Taliban if the Shariya works there it should be Established in other parts of the country as well if it works only in Swat even then good enough. China one country but having three types of Rule of Law, China mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan but running peacefully.
d. Taliban should be involved now to search the other parties. After all Talibans are not Farishtay. Our Intellectual Scholars should sit with them to make a One committee to frame Islamic Laws.
e. Taliban should be given some responsibilities as well. We can use them against the groups those are trying to destabilize the Pakistan.
When time given and we could not cover up the other parties those are working with the label of Taliban, then Farishtay won’t come down to assist us. This is blessing that we STOP the bloodshed at SWAT at least. Now we should work for other areas as well. Its not compulsory that the same formula will work other areas.
We should have in mind once Gen. ( R ) Tikka said at Mashriqui Pakistan, I need LAND not
@Enlightener: I didn’t say that the Pakistani army *will* get rid of the Taliban. In fact I don’t think the Taliban can be eradicated through military action alone. That is why I qualified my original comment with *If at all the Taliban can be wiped out by a military force*.
And for what it’s worth, I am not sitting in the US sipping warm chocolate :)
please stop complaining. you all should distribute sweets. finally islam is coming to pakistan. islam started its journey in 1974 when mufti-e-azam-e-pakistan maulana zulfiqar ali bhutto gave fatwa who is muslim and who is not. now his followers talibans are giving the same fatwa and bringing in to practice same kind of islam that maulana zulfiqar ali bhutto envisioned.
The best Nizam e Adl in my opinion would be to give every working lady and a school going girl, a whip they can carry in their purses or bags, and not hesitate to slam it on anyones back who tries to harass them.
