Taliban impose Rs 5K fine for 'un-Islamic' acts
Islamabad, April 5: Taliban's effort to enforce moral policing in Pakistan has received a boost with the local police in a northern province supporting a move to eliminate 'evils like dancing, theft, music and interest-based banking'.
The Bannu DPO in North West Frontier Province confirmed the formation of a 'peace committee' for Kaki-1 and Kaki-2 union councils a week ago and said police officials were backing the committee to eliminate 'evils like dancing, theft, music and interest-based banking'.
"Police supports the committee on three grounds: the committee members are unarmed Taliban, they dont violate the law and they have promised the administration that they will not shelter any foreign militant in the district," the official said.
Hardliners have also distributed pamphlets in the area directing the local people to abide by the committees orders, or 'face punishment' including a fine of Rs 5,000 for 'crimes unnoticed by police'.
