ISLAMABAD, Nov 07 (DNA): A summary forwarded to the federal cabinet for
lifting ban on the proscribed Tehreek e Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) yet to be
approved.
According to sources, some key federal ministers have demanded an open
debate over lifting the ban on the proscribed group. The ministers have
suggested a discussion over the issue in the upcoming session of the
federal cabinet, according to sources.
“Some federal ministers have yet to sign on the summary to un-ban the
group,” sources said. “At least 14 ministers signatures are required for
approval of the summary,” according to sources.
A session of the federal cabinet is scheduled on Tuesday with the prime
minister in chair.
A summary by the Punjab government to un-ban the proscribed TLP reached
Saturday to the interior ministry offices that will later present it to
the cabinet division as a final formality to revive the hard-line
religious party that had besieged parts of Pakistan of late.
The federal ministry of interior, which put TLP leaders in NACTA’s
fourth schedule list for proscirbed outfits and people, will forward the
recommendations after approval to the federal cabinet.
The federal cabinet will give the final nod to the restoration of TLP
after which it will no longer remain an outlawed outfit and a threat to
societal law and order.
It would be via circulation that the cabinet division will approve the
summary of recommendations.
Federal Law Minister Farogh Naseem said: “We have given the green signal
to the summary of recommendations on TLP matter by the Punjab
government”. DNA
