Daily Jang (September 2, 2004) reported that in a seminar in Peshawar one speaker Anwar Kamal Marwat stated that Hisba Bill was not really needed after the Shariat Bill. He said the muhtasib under the proposed Hisba Bill would have unlimited powers and his office will be of five years tenure after which period it could be extended indefinitely. He said this would amount to a kind of monopoly over all law. Bashir Ahmad Bilour said that Hisba Bill clashed with the Constitution and was an attempt to bring about a Taliban type of government in the NWFP. He said the clergy had set up its own private jail in Nowshehra under a Shariat Council which had no legal authority. He said the Supreme Court should take suo motu notice of this breach of law in Nowshehra because people were in jail there illegally.

As reported in daily Jang, after the meeting of Pervez Musharraf and Benazir Bhutto, the ulema have again started saying that women are not entitled to be heads of state according to Islam. Secretary General of Wafaqul Madaris, Qari Hanif Jalandhri, said that Islam doesn’t allow a woman to be head of state. The majority of ulema agreed that women can’t be made Qazis or imams of a mosque, so there is no question of a woman head of state according to Islam.
