KHAAR, Feb 25: A little known organisation, Mujahideen Bajaur, has distributed pamphlets in different areas of the Bajaur agency calling on drivers of public transport to stop playing music in their vehicles, residents said on Sunday.

They said that the pamphlets warned that if the drivers continued with this un-Islamic activity, they would be responsible for consequences.

The leaflets written in Pushto were distributed in many parts of the agency, they added.

It may be mentioned that similar pamphlets had been distributed in Bajaur some time back asking barbers to stop shaving and trimming beards in their shops as both were un-Islamic. The political authorities have started investigation in this regard, officials said.
