Punjab Home Department’s Plea To Extend TLP Chief Detention, Rejected

A review board of the Lahore High Court had rejected a request by the Punjab Home Department to extend the detention of banned Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) chief Saad Hussain Rizvi, paving the way for his release.

The decision was announced by the Provincial Review Board comprising Justice Malik Shehzad Ahmed Khan, Justice Alia Neelam and Justice Sadaqat Ali Khan of the Lahore High Court during a closed-door hearing where the Punjab Home Department’s request for extension in detention of the TLP chief was heard.

Saad Hussain Rizvi was arrested on April 12 on charges of inciting his supporters to take the law into his own hands because he said the government had reneged on its promise to expel the French ambassador.

No agenda to spread anarchy by religious party in Pakistan will succeed, Sheikh Rasheed

by
Sheikh Rasheed

Federal Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed has on Thursday lambasted the religious party that created intense violence in various cities of Pakistan and termed them “quite dangerous”.

While addressing a press conference alongside Nooru-ul-Haq Qadri, Sheikh Rasheed said, “They were adamant on coming [at the Faizabad Interchange] for the fourth time.”

He added, “This is why we took decisions to prevent that.”

The minister lauded the efforts of law enforcement personnel who got wounded in the clashes.

“I will visit the homes of those who were martyred and will also visit those who were injured [in the clashes],” he said.

The interior minister said the violence was unfortunate as the government was willing to negotiate with protesters.

“We got to know during the negotiations that they [religious party] were planning a march on April 20,” he said, adding that the reaction from the party after the arrest of a leader could not be justified.

“The reaction was neither in harmony with what our religion says nor what our Constitution says,” Rasheed added.

He said the government won’t allow any leisure to those who spread anarchy across Pakistan.

“No one is being allowed to go, no relaxation will be provided to them,” he said.
