Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry Tuesday said the federal cabinet has decided to form a committee to review the ban imposed on the proscribed Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP).
Addressing a press conference along with Federal Minister Asad Umar, the information minister said once the committee reviews TLP’s application seeking to lift the ban, it will furnish recommendations to the cabinet.
Last month, the proscribed TLP approached the Ministry of Interior to lift the ban imposed on it after it was outlawed on April 15, 2021, over allegations of disturbing peace and interfering in the state’s affairs through protests.
