KARACHI Muttahida Qaumi Movement chief Altaf Hussain on Wednesday held the Awami National Party-led NWFP government and all those MNAs who had favoured the Nizam-i-Adl Regulation responsible for the suicide attack on a police check post in Charsadda.

In a statement issued from London, he said the attack proved that the so-called peace agreement between the ANP government and `barbaric` Taliban was not for peace and security but for terrorism, murder and mayhem. 

Mr Hussain appealed to the Chief Justice of Pakistan and judges of the superior judiciary to take a suo motu notice of the attack and order registration of an FIR against the provincial government and all those parliamentarians who had supported the `murder and mayhem agreement`. 

He said that despite being in the government, his party had strongly condemned the signing of the murder and mayhem agreement and appealed to moderates to raise their voice against the agreement. He expressed sorrow and grief over the loss of lives in the attack.
