...originally Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan (SSP — Guardians of the Prophet's Companions), renamed Millat-e-Islamia and now known as Ahle Sunnat Wal Jammat (ASWJ), the Deobandi Muslim organisation in Pakistan originally formed to fight Shiite landlords in Punjab, eventually murdering thousands. It broke away from the main Deobandi Sunni organisation Jamiatul Ulema-e-Islam in 1985, was banned for terrorism by Britain in 2001, then by Pakistan in 2002 and again in 2012. Along the way, its first four leaders were assassinated. The ban was lifted for Pakistan’s 2018 elections. Al Qaeda-linked Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) broke away in 1996, Jaish-e-Muhammad is the Kashmir arm, and ASWJ feeds manpower to Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan...
