The Taliban militants on April 3 intruded into the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) office in Swat, and barred those present in the building from working, a private TV channel reported. According to the channel, the armed militants intruded into the office in the morning and told the officials to stop routine operations. The group said it had stopped the officials from working because men and women were working in the same place. They demanded the NADRA authorities ensure that men and women work separately in the office.

Chand Bibi, the young girl who was shown being flogged by the Swat Taliban in a videotape aired on television channels, gave a statement to a Qazi (Islamic judge), on April 5, denying the incident. Mian Iftikhar Hussain, the NWFP Information Minister, told The News that she made the statement to Mohammad Riaz, the judge of the Qazi Court for Matta Tehsil (revenue division), and the Commissioner of Malakand Division, Syed Mohammad Javed, both of whom visited her village, Kala Killay, in Kabal sub-division on April 5. Quoting the Commissioner, Mian Iftikhar said Chand Bibi made it clear that she was indeed married to Adalat Khan and everyone in the village knew about it. She refuted the reports that both of them were flogged by the Taliban as punishment for maintaining illicit relations and then forcibly married. According to the information minister, the Commissioner and the Judge had visited Kala Killay to record the statements of the couple on the directive of the NWFP Chief Secretary. The Chief Secretary and Inspector General of Police (NWFP) had been directed by Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pakistan, Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry, to appear before his court and also produce the girl who was flogged. The Chief Justice had taken suo moto notice of the case after the two-minute videotape was shown on TV channels.

Maulana Sufi Muhammad, the Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM) chief, concluded his “peace camp” in Swat on April 9, in protest against the delay in the implementation of Nizam-e-Adl Regulation, according to Daily Times. “But the peace deal with the provincial government is intact,” Sufi Muhammad told a press conference in Mingora before moving out of the District. “If something unpleasant happens after our peace camp has been wrapped up, President Asif Zardari will be held responsible,” Sufi read a written statement in Pushto. He alleged the federal Government was not sincere. TNSM spokesman Amir Izzat Khan said Sufi Muhammad left for Amandara town in Malakand where he will chair a shura (executive council) meeting. “The ball is now in the president’s court,” he told Daily Times. However, the Malakand Commissioner Syed Muhammad Javed said the federal Government would sign the regulation soon.

The Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM) and the Swat Taliban on April 12 warned parliamentarians against opposing the Nizam-e-Adl Regulation in the National Assembly. “Even holy prophets had no authority to make religious laws or amend them, then how can the National Assembly do it?” TNSM spokesman Amir Izzat Khan told The News. “If members of the National Assembly opposed the judicial system of the Shariat-e-Muhammadi, they will enter the category of non-Muslims and Pakistan will become Darul Harb,” he warned. Explaining Darul Harb, he said when the rulers of a country opposed the Sharia (Islamic law), they did not remain Muslims anymore. “So a country with non-Muslims as its rulers becomes Darul Harb,” he said and added that it made Jihad mandatory on rulers. Muslim Khan, the spokesman for the Swat militants, warned that those opposing the Nizam-e-Adl would be declared Murtad or apostate. “Then, he or she should contest election on minority seat, if he or she remains alive,” he said.

Daily Times reports that Taliban in Swat have renewed efforts to recruit fighters and supporters following delays in the implementation of their peace agreement with the Government. “As long as we were there enforcing peace, they were not recruiting,” Rizwanullah Farooq, son of Sufi Muhammad, told Bloomberg on April 13. He said, “Now recruitment is going on even in Buner because they don’t see a chance for peace. The government must understand this.” The report adds that the drive into Buner brings the Taliban closest to Islamabad in the five years since they began fighting the government for territorial control. The Tehreek Nifaaz-e-Shariat-e-Muhammadi, which signed the two-month-old peace accord with the Government on behalf of the Taliban, abandoned the vigil last week by leaving Swat in protest and has threatened to pull out of the peace accord to protest delay by President Asif Ali Zardari in approving the system of Sufi’s Sharia (Islamic law) courts in the area.

President Asif Ali Zardari signed the Nizam-e-Adl Regulation for Swat on April 13, after the National Assembly passed a resolution in favour of the draft regulation, Daily Times reported on April 14. "Yes, the president has signed the Nizam-e-Adl Regulation before leaving for Dubai on a two-day visit," said presidential spokesman Farhatullah Babar. Earlier on April 13, the National Assembly unanimously passed a resolution recommending the President sign the regulation to be imposed in the Malakand Division in accordance with a peace agreement between the NWFP Government and the Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM). The Muttahida Qaumi Movement had expressed its reservations over the resolution but abstained from voting to allow it to be passed unanimously. Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani told the National Assembly that the issue had been brought before the House to build a broad national consensus and establish the supremacy of Parliament.

Sharia (Islamic law) courts on April 14 formally started functioning in Swat after the enforcement of the Sharia justice system. These courts had started functioning in six Tehsils (revenue divisions) of Swat, including Bari Kot, Kabal, Matta, Khwazakhela, Bahrain and Babozai, from March 12, 2009 but owing to delay in signing of the Nizam-e-Adl Regulation by the president, their powers were very limited. However, after approval of the regulation, these courts will have full powers.

The Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM) chief Maulana Sufi Muhammad declared on April 19 that the country’s superior courts were un-Islamic and could not hear appeals against decisions of the newly set up qazi (Islamic) courts, Daily Times reported. "There is no room for democracy in Islam," said Sufi while addressing a gathering in the Mingora town of Swat District. Western democracy was a "system of infidels" and had divided the clerics and the people of Pakistan into factions, he said, and the Supreme Court and the high courts were strengthening the system. The TNSM chief told the Government to withdraw all judges from Malakand Division – including from Kohistan District – within four days and set up a Darul Qaza to hear appeals against the decisions of qazi courts. He also demanded the appointment of qazis at the district and tehsil (revenue division) levels throughout the Division. "The government will be responsible for all the consequences if our demands are not implemented," he warned. He also said it was impossible to implement the Nizam-e-Adl Regulation 2009 – promulgated on April 15 following approval from the President and the National Assembly – without support from the Army and Police.

The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) spokesman Muslim Khan has said Sharia (Islamic law) would not be restricted to the Malakand Division in Swat District, and that the Taliban will not lay down weapons unconditionally, Daily Times reported. Asked whether the Taliban would extend Sharia to other areas of Pakistan, Khan said: "Sure, because [the holy] Quran is not only for Malakand division. It is for all humanity, for all Muslims and we will go for the implementation of Sharia in other parts of Pakistan as well." He also said Taliban would not lay down their weapons unconditionally. "We are Pakhtuns and every Pakhtun has a gun. We have no tanks, no helicopters or jets," he said. Muslim Khan said the Taliban would keep their weapons if the qazi courts allowed them to. He said nobody had asked American forces to keep their weapons on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean or to surrender, but everyone had been asking the Taliban to lay down their arms. About international criticism that the Nizam-e-Adl Regulation 2009 is a parallel system of Government, the Taliban spokesman said: "We don’t care about the reaction of the government in Pakistan or abroad."

The Taliban in Swat have said they are not bound to honour the peace accord between the Government and Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM) Maulana Sufi Muhammad, Daily Times reported. According to a private TV channel, they said the NWFP Government had signed the deal with the TNSM, and not with the Taliban. Taliban spokesman Muslim Khan in a telephone interview with the CNN demanded the imposition of the Taliban’s model of Sharia (Islamic law) throughout Pakistan and beyond, "even in America". He also denounced any Pakistanis who disagreed with his interpretation of Islam, calling them "non-Muslims". He also called for the imposition of jiziya, a tax to be levied on all non-Muslims in Pakistan. In an Associated Press interview, he said Osama bin Laden was welcome in Swat. "Yes, we will help them and protect them," he stated. Muslim Khan counted the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, Al Qaeda, and the Taliban of Afghanistan among his allies.
