| [DAWN] An anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Islamabad indefinitely postponed the hearings of cases against Tehrik-e-Labbaik Pakistain (TLP) chief Khadim Hussain Rizvi and others on Monday. The ATC, hearing the cases filed against TLP leaders in connection with last year's Faizabad sit-in, postponed the hearings on prosecution's request as police claimed it was investigating the case anew and wanted to file a new charge sheet. The prosecutor requested the the court to not hold hearings until the new charge sheet is filed, which was accepted by ATC Judge Shah Arjumand. The move comes in the backdrop of recent negotiations between the Punjab 1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard 2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers 3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots.... government and TLP leaders protesting in Lahore. The organization had called off protests after being assured that the cases against its leadership, including Rizvi and Pir Afzal Qadri, and workers would be dropped, and the Faizabad agreement would be implemented. |
