Government might allow Sipah-e-Sahaba activities
 The government might relax some restrictions on banned militant organisation Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan and allow it to commence political activities in a very low profile under the name Millat-e-Islamia Pakistan, sources told Daily Times.
| That's a good candidate for Worst Idea of the Week. |
Sources said the decision was made after a recent meeting involving officials from law enforcement agencies, the National Crisis Management Cell and the Sipah. Officials have placed two major conditions on the Sipah to resume even low-key political activities, they said. The government has stressed that the Sipahs leaders cannot incite sectarian violence in any way nor abuse any person in a public meeting, they added. Authorities decided to relax some restrictions on the Sipah after these assurances and allow it to restart political activities under the umbrella of Millat-e-Islamia Pakistan.
