Govt lifts ban on TLP
Prime Minister Imran Khan on Saturday approved the submission to his cabinet of a summary seeking the revocation of Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan’s (TLP’s) proscribed status.
The decision comes during a meeting of the federal cabinet after the Ministry of Interior sent it a summary in this regard. According to a statement, the religious group had assured the authorities that it would not resort to violence during any protest.
On Thursday, the Punjab government approved revoking the proscription of the religious outfit and also allowed releasing hundreds of TLP activists as part of the agreement.
The government had declared the TLP a proscribed outfit under the anti-terror law in April this year, after three days of violent protests by the group’s members across the country.
