| Govt orders action against banned outfits doing charity |
| 2010-08-20 |
| The federal government on Thursday asked the provinces to initiate action against terrorist organisations, which are operating in the country under the guise of charity. The government asked the respective home secretaries of all the provinces to constitute a task force headed by a police deputy inspector general (DIG) to identity such elements and initiate action against the charity organisations, which had been banned by the government. The proscribed organisations or terrorist organisations would not be allowed to operate in the country under the garb of charity, the government said. Interior Minister Senator Rehman Malik on Thursday chaired a meeting at the Interior Ministry to review the law and order. He told the participants of the meeting that the government had noticed that all terrorist organisations were likely to involve themselves in charity work in the flood-affected areas. The meeting decided that the provincial home secretaries would constitute task forces headed by DIGs to identity such elements and initiate action against illegal charity organisations. The government asked people to only donate to registered charity organisations. |
