In press release, lawyers’ body urges end to media gag; calls on ‘deep state’ actors to take responsibility for actions that led to this unrest
The Sindh High Court Bar Association on Monday slammed the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf-led government’s “utter failure” to peacefully resolve the crisis provoked by the Punjab government’s arrest of Saad Rizvi, the chief of the now-banned Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan, and called on the “deep state” to take responsibility for past errors and pledge to desist from such actions in the future.

ISLAMABAD: The federal government’s decision to ban Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) under the terrorism laws has sparked a raging debate with many wondering whether prohibition will sustain approval from courts.
At the same time, legal observers are also sceptical about the executive’s decision of disbanding a political party under the terrorism laws – an attempt that has the potential of undermining the rights of other political parties on the whims of the government.
Senior counsel Salman Akram Raja feared that proscribing an entire political party could end up taking the same course against other opposition parties for achieving a short-term gain by the government.
