PESHAWAR, May 27: Contrary to the NWFP government claims, the city police have not registered any FIR against the Shabab-i- Milli and Jamaat-i-Islami activists, who on Friday tore down dozens of signboards depicting women pictures in a so-called anti-obscenity campaign.

NWFP minister for law Malik Zafar Azam told the NWFP assembly here on Tuesday that the police had registered FIRs by names against all those who were involved in the ransacking of signboards and took the law in their hands. However, police stations concerned denied having done so.

Talking to Dawn by phone, the law minister insisted Chief Minister Akram Durrani  had issued instructions to the police on Monday night to register cases against the JI activists by names. But he denied to confirm which police station has registered the cases and said: “This is the work of police department and the government job is to issue orders.”
