Is there any justification for a Nazim-us-Salat...after 18th amendment

We all know that Zia used Islam with a cynical disregard, using state collected wealth taxes, (known as zakat), as largesse for political purposes. The immediate beneficiaries of these actions were the mullahs and the religious parties, specifically the Jamat-i-Islami".

Zia ordered his military commanders to select and appoint Nazim-us-Salat or prayer leaders in their areas of control, who would ensure that people performed their daily prayers according to the prescribed ritual.
I believe this led to the birth of Taleban...both here and across the border  in Afghanistan.
