LAHORE:
A provincial review board turned down the Punjab government’s reference seeking further extension in detention of Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) Chief Saad Hussain Rizvi.
The review board was headed by Lahore High Court (LHC)’s Justice Malik Shahzad Ahmad Khan. LHC Justice Aalia Neelum and Justice Sadaqat Ali Khan were also its members.
The government took the plea that ‘the law and order situation may be created if Rizvi is released’. The government claimed that TLP may hold processions if Rizvi is freed. TLP’s objective will be to launch a comprehensive move to get restored its status through processions and they may force the government to lift the word ‘banned organization’ from TLP through its processions, they pleaded.
