LAHORE: The Punjab government has decided to ban Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s Ansarul Islam, a sub-organisation of the JUI-F, over its involvement in terrorism.
The Punjab home department has forwarded a summary to the cabinet seeking a ban on Ansarul Islam. According to the home department summary, Ansarul Islam is an armed organisation that cannot be run in Punjab. It was also involved in terrorism so an immediate ban should be placed on it, the department argued.
According to sources in the home department, this summary was sent to the chief minister. After approval of the CM, the organisation would be banned. Top officials of the home department were contacted to confirm the news; no one was available while spokesperson of the home department denied commenting on the issue.

LAHORE/ISLAMABAD: The opposition leaders and the ministers Sunday continued trading barbs and pointed allegations against each other on the issues of prime minister’s vote of confidence and the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) activists’ alleged attack on the Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) leaders in the Capital on Saturday.
Opposition leaders challenged the number of votes cast in favour of the prime minister, saying agencies’ help was sought to ‘rope in’ the ruling alliance’s parliamentarians for getting their votes. The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leaders alleged coercion in the NA voting process, while the PML-N leaders warned of tit-for-tat response in case of any physical attack on the party activists in future.
