The President of Islamic Republic of Pakistan has formally signed the Nizam e Adl Regulation 2009 after it was approved by the required majority in the Pakistani parliament today. The news came as a great relief to the people of Swat and adjoining areas as well as to all other supporters of the Shariah law. The Nizam e Adl regulations will now be implemented in the Swat Valley of Pakistan. Approximately all parties voted in the favor of the resolution except Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) who abstained from the voting in the national assembly. This means majority of the country supports the implementation of Shariah Law in the area. This has also removed all the controversies that were surrounding the bill as the voting proved that the implementation of Shariah law in Swat Valley is supported by majority of the people in the country and hence it can be called the aspirations of the people.
Pro-Pakistan congratulate all those who worked for the cause and hope that Swat valley would be a made a model town for the rest of the country and the world to see how the Shariah law can help the area to prosper.
We also think that it will be used as a testing ground by everyone to see the effects on the overall good of the specific area. Let us all pray that the emirs of the area realize the gravity of the situation and make sure to take advantage of this opportunity to show the practical implementation of Islamic law. If the test becomes successful, i am sure all of the country will come out on the roads for this law to be implemented but if it fails, i am sure a lot of people will never get a chance to see the beauty of Islam for themselves. Therefore a heavy responsibility has been placed on the shoulders of the people of the Swat Valley.
According to Dawn website:
Parliamentary affairs minister Babar Awan submitted a resolution to the lower house seeking approval for President Asif Ali Zardari to ratify Sharia Nizam Adl Regulation 2009, in accordance with legislative practice.
Monday’s vote comes just days after pro-Taliban cleric Sufi Mohammad, who signed the February agreement with the local government, lashed out at Zardari for not ratifying the deal and withdrew from Swat in protest.
Sharia courts have already started working in Swat, a former ski resort ripped apart by a nearly two-year brutal insurgency, but where the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) government says the deal can bring peace.
‘We want consensus of the whole nation. We want to take the house into confidence. We don’t want to bypass the parliament,’ Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani told lawmakers. ‘We appreciate the sacrifices made by the people of North West Frontier Province in the war on terror.
‘We are committed to implement the system and the whole nation should support it,’ he added before the regulation was unanimously approved by a voice vote among those lawmakers in the chamber.
Karachi-based Muttahida Qaumi Movement, a member of the coalition, abstained.
‘We have our apprehensions, we will not take part in the vote,’ said MQM leader and cabinet minister for overseas Pakistanis, Farooq Sattar.
Thousands of Taliban followers spent nearly two years waging a terrifying campaign to enforce sharia law in Swat — beheading opponents, bombing girls’ schools, outlawing entertainment and fighting government forces.
The vote piles further pressure on Zardari to ratify the blueprint, which is only likely to antagonise Western allies who have voiced fears that the deal emboldens Taliban and Al-Qaeda extremists in northwest Pakistan. ‘I am ending my peace camp in Swat and if any bloodshed occurs, President Zardari and the federal government will be responsible,’ Mohammad threatened last Thursday.
However, he has now said has that he is looking forward to practical implementation of Nizam-e-Adl regulation and claimed the Taliban will now lay down their arms.

We strongly condemn this hypocritical, ostrich like decision of defeat by the frontier government. They think that peace will hold. They will be disappointed.
Its really a change for good , at last our political government has done some thing through parliament. If the bill was signed directly by President lots of people would have chance saying that it was blah blah blah but now after its being Unanimously passes by the parliament ( MQM walked out but )so no one but few these extremists would talk against it.
But the BBC still showed its biased reporting and quoted it a controversial bill,
the only statement worth highlight for them was of MQM and a reference to controversial punishments being given in Sawat which (even if actual ) happened before the
All of us will have to keep eyes open and not make any negative assessment about this bill as a lot of false propaganda will be relayed against it.
And last but not least lets hope the people implementing it do it sensibly and not make a real blunder
