A review board of the Lahore High Court accepted the provincial government plea for continued detention of Jaish-i-Muhammad leader Maulana Masood Azhar but ordered that he be lodged in his house at Bahawalpur, which should be declared a sub-jail. The government, in the meanwhile, would pay the detenu's dependents Rs10,000 per month for their subsistence. A similar order was passed in favour of Sipah-i-Sahaba chief Maulana Azam Tariq's family.
Looks like a clean break with Pakland. |
