<b>Islamic Revolution` in Islamabad from Friday: Pak cleric</b> <!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->
Islamabad, April 03: A cleric heading a girls madrassa, the students of which have launched aggressive moral policing here, has said an "Islamic Revolution" would be started in this Pakistani capital city from Friday with a crackdown on "secular activities".
Meanwhile, parents of some girls, disagreeing with the methods being employed in the morality drive, have decided to withdraw their wards from the religious school.
The students of boys' seminary Jamia Faridia and Jamia Hafsa, of girls, were "adamant to enforce Shariat" in the city and across the country and an announcement in this regard would be made in Lal Masjid, which controlled the schools, Maulana Abdul Aziz, the in-charge of the two madrassas, said.
The Jamia Hafsa girls had been occupying a public library here for the past two months to protest a move to demolish unauthorised mosques. Last week, they took three women and a six-month-old child hostage after accusing the trio of running brothels.
<b>"We will start our Islamic Revolution in Islamabad on Friday by launching a crackdown on CDs, DVDs and other secular activities in the G-6 Sector. The exercise will be extended to the NWFP (North West Frontier Province) and other areas at later stages. We have full support of madrassas in various cities," </b>Aziz was quoted by local daily 'Dawn' as saying.
He also said he was supporting the Taliban in Afghanistan and South and North Waziristan and conceded that students of his seminary had joined the Taliban but "on their own".Â
