| [DAWN] An Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) and civil courts on Saturday issued non-bailable arrest warrants for Tehrik-e-Labbaik Pakistain's (TLP) Khadim Hussain Rizvi along with other absconding suspects in 14 cases related to the Faizabad sit-in held last year. ATC Judge Shahrukh Arjumand issued arrest warrants in five cases regarding the Islamabad protests that were registered in the I-9 cop shoppe after Rizvi and other suspects refused to appear in court for the hearing. The TLP leader along with other members of Rizvi's and other religious parties are facing multiple charges, including terrorism, in several cases that were registered in 26 cop shoppes across the capital after the Faizabad protests. A civil court also issued arrest warrants in nine cases lodged in the Industrial Area cop shoppe. An ATC court has already issued arrest warrants for Rizvi and other leaders of different religious parties, including the Tehrik-e-Khatm-e-Nabuwwat and the Sunni Tehrik ...formed in Karachi in 1992 under by Muhammad Saleem Qadri. It quickly fell to trading fisticuffs and assassinations with the MQM and the Sipah-e-Sahaba, with at least a half dozen of its major leaders rubbed out. Sunni Tehreek arose to become the primary opposition to the Deobandi Binori Mosque, headed by Nizamuddin Shamzai, who was eventually bumped off by person or persons unknown. ST's current leadership has heavily criticized the Deobandi Jihadi leaders, accusing them of being sponsored by Indian Intelligence agencies as well as involvement in terrorist activities... Pakistain, in six cases pertaining to the Faizabad sit-in. The last arrest warrant was issued earlier this week after Rizvi failed to appear in court for a hearing. Despite multiple warrants, no arrests have been made as yet. Islamabad protests Religious parties held a sit-in at Faizabad Interchange in the capital following the passage of the Elections Act 2017, which they believed deliberately modified the Khatm-e-Nabuwwat oath as part of some conspiracy. The amendment to the oath had been explained as a 'holy manal error' by the government and subsequently rectified through an Act of Parliament. |
