In the province, a volunteer of Buner Qaumi Lashkar was killed and another sustained injuries when Taliban militants opened fire in the Gokand area of Buner District on April 6, Daily Times reported. Residents from various villages and sub-divisions had formed the Lashkar (militia) to confront around 100 Taliban militants who had entered Buner from Swat on April 5. The Taliban said they would stay in Buner until their chief had had talks with the local chapter of the Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM).

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.

Mian Iftikhar and Afrasiyab, accompanied by Home Secretary Fayaz Toru, Malakand Commissioner Syed Muhammad Javed and District Coordination Officer Malakand Agency Arshad Khan, held talks with the TNSM team, represented by its spokesman Amir Izzat Khan, Maulana Syed Wahab, Ghayasuddin, Latif Khan and Multanmir. After negotiations, Mian Iftikhar said they agreed to keep the deal intact. He contradicted some media reports about the scrapping of the accord and said some elements were bent upon sabotaging the agreement but their nefarious designs would be foiled. Talking to reporters, Amir Izzat said their agreement with the provincial Government was intact. “Sufi Muhammad just wound up the peace camp in protest and it is not related to the scrapping of the pact,” he said. The TNSM spokesman said Sufi Muhammad did not take part in the talks in protest and would not hold negotiations with the Government till the implementation of the Nizam-e-Adl Regulation.

The Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM) on April 10 Friday assured the NWFP Government that it would keep the peace deal intact, but warned that the delay by President Asif Ali Zardari in signing the Nizam-e-Adl Regulation could hinder the return of peace to the Swat Valley, The News reported. The NWFP Information Minister Mian Iftikhar Hussain and the peace envoy to the NWFP Government Afrasiyab Khattak reportedly went to Batkhela to meet the TNSM chief Maulana Sufi Muhammad, who wound up the peace camp in Swat on April 9. However, Sufi Muhammad refused to meet the visiting delegation in protest against the delay in the signing of the Nizam-e-Adl Regulation. “We met him (Sufi) during the Friday prayers but he did not participate in the talks,” said Mian Iftikhar.

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.

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.

The White House said on April 14 the Nizam-e-Adl Regulation accord signed by the NWFP Government with the TNSM to introduce Sharia (Islamic law) in Malakand Division and the Kohistan District of NWFP was against human rights and democracy, AFP reported. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said President Barack Obama’s administration believed that "solutions involving security in Pakistan don’t include less democracy and less human-rights. The signing of that denoting strict Islamic law in Swat valley goes against both those principles". He also said "We are disappointed that parliament did not take into account legitimate concerns around civil and human rights."

According to Daily Times, at least two people were killed and another injured in a gunfight between Taliban militants and the operatives of the Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM) in the Mamond sub-division of Bajaur Agency on April 19. The reason for the clash - that occurred in the Meena area - could not be ascertained. Taliban spokesman Maulvi Umar confirmed the incident while talking to reporters from an undisclosed location. He said the Taliban would not allow anyone to display weapons in Mamond in accordance with their peace deal with local tribal elders, and that they had held 60 people so far for displaying weapons. Rizwan, a TNSM leader and son of the outfit’s chief Maulana Sufi Muhammad – said the incident was a result of a misunderstanding. Some differences had emerged between the TNSM and the Mamond tribe, he said, and a jirga (council of elders) is attempting to resolve them.

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.

Interior Adviser Rehman Malik on April 21 warned of stern action if the TNSM violated the peace agreement it had made with the NWFP Government. He said that the Nizam-e-Adl was invoked in 1994, under which a session judge was named Qazi. "No one should create the ambiguity that any maulvi (cleric) will hold the charge of a judge," he said. Malik also ruled out lifting the ban on the TNSM.

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. "If we need, we can call them and if they need, they can call us," he said.

The Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM) chief, Maulana Sufi Mohammad, had asked the Government on April 19 to abolish regular courts and set up Darul Qaza for appeal by April 23. In the neighbouring Shangla District also, judges could not perform their duties because lawyers did not appear in courts after they received a threat against doing so. In a letter pasted near the bar room, militants had warned lawyers against appearing before courts. Buner and Shangla are two of the seven districts of Malakand Division where the Nizam-e-Adl Regulation 2009 will be enforced. An unnamed official of the Peshawar High Court told Dawn "Safety of our officials is of supreme importance for us. How is it possible for judges to perform their duty when personnel of law-enforcement agencies and administration are not present in the district." District Coordination Officer Javed Ahmed Khan, District Police Officer Abdur Rashed Khan and Assistant Coordination Officer Pervez Khan Yousafzai had reportedly already left the District more than a week ago. A judicial officer confirmed that the District police officer had categorically told them that he could not guarantee safety to court officials.

A spokesman for the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Dir chapter, said the military operation in Dir was unjustified and against the Swat peace deal, The News reported. Talking to a private TV channel, Mullah Mansoor Dadullah, the TTP spokesman for Dir, said the Taliban would retaliate to the SFs with full force. The government, he said, has no intention to ensure the implementation of the Swat peace deal. We have not violated the deal and, therefore, the operation is unjustified, he claimed, adding the Taliban would attack those who had ordered operation against them in Dir. In addition, the TNSM spokesman Izatt Khan said the operation by SFs in Lower Dir is a ‘violation’ of the Swat peace deal, Daily Times reported. Talking to a private TV channel, the spokesman claimed that the house and a seminary owned by TNSM chief Maulana Sufi Muhammad had also been damaged in the operation.

Sources said the troops entered Lal Qila after an intense battle. The SFs reportedly used helicopter gunships and artillery in the operations, and shelled the Tokri and Kal Dherai areas in Maidan, the ancestral village of the Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM) chief Maulana Sufi Muhammad. The SFs fired mortar shells from Chakdara Fort – killing eight Taliban militants, including Lower Dir ‘commander’ Maulana Shahid, and injuring scores of others. Troops and the Taliban also engaged in crossfire. The NWFP Information Minister Iftikhar Hussain told Daily Times, “The situation was such that the security forces had no option but to launch an operation … the district police officer (DPO), the district nazim and other officials have already been killed and a number of troops and people kidnapped.” Iftikhar said the SFs had been coming under attack, and they had to take action under the circumstances. The minister, however, said that the operation would not affect the Nizam-e-Adl Regulation 2009, and SFs were still present in Malakand.

The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General, Major General Athar Abbas has said that certain splinter groups are not even under the control of the Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM) or the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), and “these are the groups creating problems,” Daily Times reported. Abbas, however, told a foreign television channel on April 26 that the Government was confident of implementing the Swat peace deal. He rubbished as baseless reports that the Taliban could also enter Islamabad. “It is impossible for a group of 200 Taliban, who have come to Buner from Swat, to storm Islamabad despite its close proximity to Buner district. No doubt, Buner is situated within a radius of 100 miles of the federal capital ... [but] the threat cannot be measured in terms of distance, rather it has to be measured in terms of counter capabilities,” he said, adding that it would be ridiculous to say that the Taliban were a threat to Islamabad. He claimed that there were no more than 50 Taliban militants in Buner District. “They were recruited by the Swat Taliban, who left them behind after ... they left Buner,” he added. He also said the Security Forces would flush out those left in Buner if they created further problems.

The Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM) has suspended talks with the NWFP Government to protest against the military action in Dir, the TNSM spokesman Amir Izzat Khan told Daily Times in Mingora city on April 27. “We, however, still adhere to the February deal,” he told AFP, referring to the accord that sought Taliban disarmament in return for the imposition of sharia law in Malakand division. “We will not hold any talks until the operation ends,” he told Associated Press. “The agreements with the Pakistan government are worthless because Pakistani rulers are acting to please Americans,” Muslim Khan, spokesman for Taliban in Swat valley said. A Taliban spokesman identified as Umar said to Associated Press that the Taliban would agree to talks about the situation in Dir, but only if the military operation is halted. “We were living peacefully in Dir,” Umar added further.

Maulana Mohammad Alam, deputy chief of the TNSM, has said his organistation is not ready to resume talks with the Government on the Swat accord or the ongoing military operation in the absence of Maulana Sufi Mohammad. Talking to Dawn at the TNSM’s Amandara office in Batkhela on April 28, he said: “We don’t know where and how he (Sufi Mohammad) is. Before leaving his home in Maidan on Sunday he told me that he was going to the party office but he did not reach here.” Sources said that Sufi Mohammad was still in Maidan (Lower Dir) and he had rejected a Government offer to move him to his party’s headquarters by helicopter. They said the TNSM chief had told the authorities that he would proceed to Amandara if the Government stopped military operation in Lower Dir. Earlier, addressing a press conference at the TNSM head office, Maulana Alam accused the Government of violating the peace deal by launching a fresh military operation in Maidan. “We ask the government to stop the military operation immediately,” he said. He claimed the Taliban had neither violated the peace deal nor damaged any public property. “The present situation is the result of the delay in appointment of Qazis and establishment of Darul Qaza,” Alam said. He also stated: “The government has already lost its control over 80 per cent of Swat and if the deal is not honoured the government may lose its control over the entire Malakand division.”

The NWFP Government is all set to establish the Darul Qaza appeals court in Malakand and appoint qazis in the area, Provincial Information Minister Mian Iftikhar Hussain said on April 28, inviting the Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM) chief Maulana Sufi Muhammad for talks to implement the Nizam-e-Adl Regulation 2009, Daily Times reported. “It’s the last opportunity. I request Sufi Muhammad and his companions through this press conference to come forward for consultations with the government as all arrangements for the implementation of the system are complete,” said the spokesman while addressing a press conference. The minister said the TNSM chief had suspended peace talks after a military operation in Dir that he opposed and that Government emissaries could not contact him as he had gone to Taimer Gara and refused to talk to them. He said the Government believed in dialogue and not in use of force because only dialogue could solve problems. The minister warned that the provincial Government would take strict action against all those challenging the writ of the state, forming a parallel Government, endangering the life and property of citizens and patrolling troubled areas with weapons. “There were some technical problems in the establishment of Darul Qaza and appointment of qazis. We have now done the homework and are fully ready to implement the system after consultations with Sufi Muhammad,” said Iftikhar.
