Hours after filing a case against him on the grounds that he had threatened Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa, police on Monday arrested Naib Emir Pir Zaheerul Hassan Shah of Tehreek Labbaik Pakistan (TLP).

On the basis of a report from SHO Hammad Hussain, the Qila Gujjar Singh police had filed a case against the TLP leader hours earlier.

Along with other legal prohibitions, such as inciting religious hate, sedition, intimidating the higher judiciary, interfering with and impeding statutory tasks, the case was also lodged under the Anti-Terrorism Act.

During a protest outside the press club, the suspect allegedly threatened and incited hatred against the judiciary, according to the FIR.

The FIR lists 1,500 workers as well as the TLP naib emir as nominees.

ACTION ON SWIFT BY THE GOVT

Previously, following a scandal surrounding a threat to Pakistan’s chief justice, the government issued a warning to those who propagate hate speech.

Threats of “bloodletting on the pretext of religion” have been issued, according to Federal Minister of Defence Khawaja Muhammad Asif.

With reference to the current campaign against Pakistan’s Chief Justice, Qazi Faez Isa, the defence minister claimed that some misguided individuals were attacking the CJP because of a recent Supreme Court ruling that had nothing to do with the CJP.

At the press conference, Minister Ahsan Iqbal expressed his opinion and mentioned that in 2018, a political party (referring to the TLP) was founded with the intention of causing unrest.

Iqbal related statements made by religious authorities claiming that there was no connection between Islam and acts of terrorism, sectarianism, or suicide.

The chief minister of KP, Ali Amin Gandapur, has been granted three weeks of transit bail in his plea with the Peshawar High Court (PHC).

The appeal for information regarding charges against Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur was considered by a two-judge panel from the PHC, which included Chief Justice Ishtiaq Ibrahim and Justice Sahibzada Asadullah.

The chief justice noted that the chief minister showed up for the court hearing, even though he was actually scheduled to be in Islamabad for an IMF meeting.

The applicant’s legal representative has asked for specifics of all pending charges against Chief Minister Gandapur, including those in Punjab.

According to the assistant attorney general, he told the ministry of the interior to adhere rigidly to court orders.

According to CJ Ibrahim, they have the option to request a response from the federal government and extend protection bail up to the Punjab region.

In every case, the additional attorney general ensured that court orders were implemented. He said that he had written to each district and requested details from the Punjab Police and the Inspector General.

The assistant attorney general has asked for an extension of three weeks to complete the report.

Gandapur could not attend the court daily due to his administrative duties and his position as chief minister and public office holder, according to Justice Asadullah.

After extending KP CM’s protective bail, the judge postponed the case hearing to December 17.

“Prepared to Protest”

Speaking to the media outside of PHC, KP CM Ali Amin Gandapur declared that he was prepared for the PTI protest meeting and that this time, the action plan will be stringent but undisclosed.

He emphasized that their peaceful protest was in accordance with their constitutionally protected right. According to him, his group was attacked, rubber bullets were shot, and routes were blocked so that protests couldn’t take place.

Importantly, on November 24th, Aleema Khan, who is the brother of PTI founder Imran Khan, said that her brother had called for a final protest.
