Islamabad: Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan on Saturday gave permission to remove the Pakistani Tehreek-i-Labbagic Extremist Group (TLP) from a list of clothing that was prohibited, surrendered to the hardline of Islamists to end the deadly anti-government agitation.
TLP was declared an organization that was prohibited from April this year after the protest of violence by the group to force the government to expel the French ambassador to the problem of blasphemous cartoons published in France.
The group was once again brought to the road last month and after violent protests signed an agreement with the government.
Although the details of the agreement were not distributed to the public, it emerged from a statement of several leaders that it included the removal of the ban on the group.
At least 21 people, including 10 police have lost their lives during fierce confrontation between TLP workers and law enforcement authorities in the past few days.
Prime Minister Khan agreed to raise a TLP ban after a report to be sent by the Punjab government through the Interior Ministry.
“The prime minister has been happy to accept permission to submit instant summaries to the cabinet through circulation under the rules of 17 (1) (b) of business rules,” according to official documents.
It adds that “Cabinet approval is Requested to suspect the phone below […] Anti-Terrorism Law, 1997 on the recommendation of the Punjab Government.” According to business rules, 1973, approval with circulation means that summary is sent to the federal minister for their opinions.
If a minister fails to respond in a period of time determined, it is assumed that they have agreed to the report.
The government has released more than 2,000 phone activists and after raising a ban, the group will be free to take part in all kinds of political activities.
However, it will determine poor precedents and future governments will be vulnerable to their extremist and bullying groups.
TLP was founded in 2015 and has held at least six protests for years, most of the alleged dismissal of the prophet.
