Peshawar: The scene wasn’t much different from last year – a horde of beggars lining up along the entry and exit gates of Bagh-i-Naran, women clad in burqas and men spreading out their chadors and shawls asking for alms. Some of these faces are recognisable. This is commonplace and not restricted to Eid days only.
What also was not unusual was groups of jihadi organisations, seeking donations to help wage ‘jihad’ against the United States in Afghanistan. Jamaat-ud Da’wa and Al-Badr Mujahideen activists holding printed material handouts and banners were using megaphones to attract attention and donors.
Also present were some activists of what it called the Deobandi Jaish-i-Muhammad making pronouncements in their easily distinguishable Afridi dialect. It was not clear if this was some new outfit or it was the one banned by the federal government in 2002.
Amid this din and clamour for donations for the jihad, an apparently vigilant policeman stood guard looking instead at the double road that passes along the sprawling Bagh-i-Naran., except he did not see or choose not to see what was going on at his back, drawing one to conclude that either this activity had the official sanction or the policeman on duty was not too bothered about who was collecting what and for what causes.
