Two recently banned religious extremist organisations, the Millat-e-Islamia Pakistan and Islami Tehrik Pakistan have decided to appeal to the Supreme Court (SC) against the governmentâs ban on them, sources told Daily Times.
| "Yeah! Youse can't do dat to us! We got mouthpieces!" |
âOther banned outfits including Jammiat-ul-Ansar, Khuddamul Islam and Jammat-ul-Furqan have decided to remain underground till the heat's off situation is normal,â sources said. Sources said these organisations would also seek the release of their bank accounts which were frozen by the State Bank of Pakistan and their offices which were sealed by the government.
| I think they changed the subject again and they're back to the two groups going to court, rather than the ones that are "underground." |
Sources said the Islami Tehirk Pakistan had formed a panel of lawyers headed by Advocate Syed Zulfiqar Naqvi. âMr Zulfiqar is now formalising the panel of lawyers and preparing the appeal to the SC,â sources added. Sources said the Millat-e-Islamia Pakistan had appointed Advocate Syed Ather Hussain Bukhari to form a panel of lawyers to file the petition against the governmentâs decision. Former Jaish-e-Muhammad which was divided in to two factions by the names of Khuddamul Islam headed by Maulana Masood Azhar and the other one Jammat-ul-Furqan headed by Maulana Jabbar, were also banned by the government in its recent exercise. |
