LAHORE: Succumbing to the demands of a radical Islamist party, the Pakistan government has agreed to try blasphemy suspects under terrorism charges in addition to the other sections of the country's penal code. The Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) ended its 25-day-long march protest at Sarai Alamgir, Gujrat district, some 200 km from Lahore, on Saturday after signing a pact with the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N)-led federal government. Federal Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah said the government has accepted "all legitimate" demands of the TLP, especially on blasphemy laws. In a 12-point agreement signed on Saturday with the TLP, the federal government agreed to book those accused of committing blasphemy and charged with Section 295-C (use of derogatory remarks, etc., in respect of the Holy Prophet) of Pakistan Penal Code under the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA), 1997, too. "Besides, speedy trials of the blasphemy accused will be ensured. For the first time, a Counter Blasphemy Wing (CBW) will be established under the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA)," Sanaullah said, adding the government would ensure steps to block blasphemous content on social media. The radical Islamic group gained political capital as the federal government agreed to issue a letter declaring that the TLP was not a terrorist organisation, the Dawn newspaper reported. The government also conceded to lift the ban on the coverage of TLP on broadcast and social media while agreeing to withdraw all political cases filed against TLP workers and leaders. Sanaullah said the TLP leaders whose names have been taken off the Fourth Schedule of the Anti-Terrorism Act, 1997, will have the freedom of movement, and the federal government will issue directives to provincial governments for it. According to Amnesty International, Pakistan's blasphemy laws are often used against religious minorities and others who are the target of false accusations. The addition of terrorism charges will make the blasphemy suspects more vulnerable.

Even if it doesn’t call them by their name, Pakistan is being quietly run by its own Ayatollahs, who negotiate with the State on behalf of a higher sovereign. They are laying the foundations for turning the country into a Shari’a-run Islamic State, more surely than jihadists who have escalated violent operations across Pakistan.

Pakistan is becoming the new Iran.

Details of agreement with TLP to be unveiled within 10 days, Shaikh Rasheed claims

Federal Minister for Interior Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed said that the details of the agreement between the government and Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) will be revealed within a few days.

Speaking to the media in Islamabad, the minister claimed that all details regarding the agreement between both sides will be brought to the public's notice within a period of 10 days. It may be recalled that the news of a deal being struck between the government and the TLP was announced on October 30 in a press conference held by officials from the PTI government's negotiating team. Saylani Welfare Trust Chairman Maulana Bashir Farooqui, who was present during negotiations between the TLP and the government, said the agreement cannot be made public before the 10th day of the deal, even as he assured that its contents "do not go against the national interest". Shedding light on the Pakistan Democratic Movement's (PDM) decision to hold a long march, Rasheed said that the actual time for the sit-in was when PDM chief Fazlur Rehman first visited Islamabad, and that the Opposition began protests "late". The PDM last week announced protests across the country as well as a long march towards Islamabad against the government's "anti-people" measures and inflation. "Now, if they plan a sit-in, they will be humiliated," he said, adding that it will take more than six months for PDM to warm up. Rasheed said that the ongoing crisis in Afghanistan will negatively affect Pakistan. "Our economy is already going through testing times," he said. Regarding the electronic voting machine, the interior minister said that his party Awami Muslim League supports Prime Minister Imran Khan. "I am a supporter of the EVM," he maintained. He told the media that the names of the Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Shahbaz Sharif and Fawad Hassan Fawad were already on the exit control list (ECL). The minister also shed light on the surging inflation in Pakistan, saying that food prices are increasing worldwide. However, he admitted that inflation is a real problem the government needs to deal with. It is pertinent to mention here that according to the data released by the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS), the weekly inflation for the week ended November 11 registered an increase of 1.81%. During the week, average prices of 30 essential items, including tomatoes, diesel, petrol, cooking oil, vegetable ghee, potatoes, etc., rose.

Pindi continues to have law enforcement personnel deployed. Though life has returned to normal in the city following the restoration of the metro bus service and the reopening of Murree Road and its arteries, law enforcement agencies remain deployed.

On Sunday night, life in the city resumed normalcy following an agreement between the government and the Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP). Shortly after the development, the City Traffic Police began removing containers, concrete blocks, and barriers from Murree Road and its adjacent streets.

Clearing the Faizabad junction took several hours due to the containers being filled with sand/mud. The road was reopened in the early morning hours of Monday. Pindi law enforcement presence has not ceased.
