"The prime minister has been pleased to accord permission for submission of the instant summary to the cabinet through circulation under Rule 17 (1)(b) of the Rules of Business, 1973," according to an official document. Prime Minister Khan approved to lift the ban on the TLP after a report for it was sent by the Punjab government through the Ministry of Interior. Though the details of the agreement were not shared with the public, it emerged from the statement of some leaders that it included the removal of a ban on the group.Īt least 21 people, including 10 policemen have lost their lives during fierce confrontation between the TLP workers and law enforcement authorities in recent days. The group once again took to the streets last month and after violent protests entered into an agreement with the government.
The TLP was declared as a proscribed organisation in April after violent protests by the group to force the government to expel the French ambassador over the issue of blasphemous cartoons published in France. Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan on Saturday gave his permission to remove the extremist group Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) from the list of banned outfits, succumbing to the hardline Islamists to end the deadly anti-government agitation.
