District council demands action against Jihadi outfits

PESHAWAR —Parents in the northern districts of Upper Dir of Pakistan’s North West Frontier Province (NWFP) accused Jihad outfits for abducting their children from schools for jihad.

A doctor and a radio mechanic accused militants for kidnapping their children to train them for jihad in the training camps. They later recovered their children from the militants and brought the issue into the notice of the district council.

Islamic religious groups have great influence in the NWFP northern districts from where around 10,000 volunteers on the call of Tehrik-e-Nifaz-e-Muhammadia (TNSM), a religious organization working for establishment of Sharia in the area, Chief Sufi Muhammad went for jihad against the U.S. when the latter attacked Afghanistan.

Many of these volunteers were killed or captured by the U.S. and Afghan forces during the fight. Some of them were released from the Northern Alliance forces in Afghanistan by paying hefty amount while the whereabouts of a large number of these activists are still unknown. The TNSM leader came back to Pakistan but was arrested by security forces and he is still in jail on charges of instigating thousands of persons for jihad in Afghanistan.
