ISLAMABAD:
Opposition on Friday called for launching a probe into the emergence of the TLP – a religious party that the federal government proscribed on Wednesday amid violent protests – as a PML-N lawmaker demanded that the government must break ties with France over blasphemy issue.
When the National Assembly resumed its session, PML-N’s Riaz Pirzada took the floor and demanded that the government must explain as to who helped make the TLP, the Sipah-e-Sahaba, a sectarian outfit, and the TTP, an ultra-orthodox militant group.
