Islamabad (HRNW) “The FIRs against Saad Hussain Rizvi and 209 other Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan supporters will go through court,” Federal Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed said.
In a press conference on Wednesday, he said that TLP chief Saad Hussain Rizvi’s case includes sections 78A (Acts done pursuant to the judgment or order of Court) and 302 (Punishment for murder).
Rasheed said that the ban on the party is not being reversed. The members can send an appeal against it to the Interior Ministry within 30 days. “If this happens, a committee will be formed to decide over the case.”
Around 1:45pm, 669 TLP supporters arrested under the Maintenance of Public Order were released from jail. Most of them were from South Punjab and Faisalabad.
According to Rasheed, the agreement signed between the ministry and the religious party includes that decisions pertaining to all international matters will be taken by the government and no religious or political party will be allowed to pressurise them.
