ISLAMABAD: A relative of Saad Hussain Rizvi, the chief of Tehrik-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP), approached the Supreme Court for his release on Wednesday.
Saad Rizvi, son of the late Allama Khadim Hussain Rizvi, was arrested on April 12 over allegations that he had incited his followers to take law into their own hands as, according to him, the government had gone back on its promise to expel the French ambassador.
The petition, filed by Ameer Hussain, the uncle of Saad Rizvi, seeks overturning of the Lahore High Court’s (LHC) May 24 decision to dismiss his previous plea.
