The Pakistan government has agreed to accept the demands of radical clerics, including the enforcement of Sharia law in the country.

President of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Q (PML-Q), who was deputed by the government to resolve the stand-off with the clerics, told reporters here last night that all contentious issues between the government and Lal Masjid clerics had been settled.

Hussain was speaking after a second round of talks with clerics, who along with their hundreds of students from their madrasas had begun moral policing in Islamabad, local daily Dawn reported.

On enforcement of the Shariat, he said, “No Muslim rejects the enforcement of the Islamic system in the country,” but declined to elaborate.

Hussain paid a surprise visit to Lal Masjid and held talks with its in-charge Maulana Abdul Aziz and his deputy Maulana Abdul Rashid Ghazi.

He assured the clerics and students of Jamia Hasfa that the government was ready to accept their demands.
