Pakistan has begun talks with an extremist group it banned last week in a bid to control religious violence, which is becoming a major challenge for Prime Minister Imran Khan as he struggles to revive the economy.
Talks between Khan’s administration and Tehreek Labbaik Pakistan (TLP), an Islamic party that’s demanding the expulsion of the French ambassador, are ongoing after violent protests in Lahore killed at least three people, according to a statement by Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed and reports by the local media.
Supporters of Tehreek Labbaik Pakistan block a road and shout slogans protesting the arrest of their party leader Saad Rizvi in Lahore on Sunday.
ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) has banned the television and radio coverage of the Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP), citing an interior ministry’s Thursday notification proscribing the religious party for engaging in “acts of terrorism, acting in a manner prejudicial to the peace and security of the country”.
In a communique sent to all satellite TV channels and FM radio stations, the regulatory authority noted that the Pemra (Television Broadcast Station Operation) Regulation, 2012, and the Electronic Media Code of Conduct, 2015, required that programmes “shall conform to the laws of the country. Additionally, Clause 3(3) of the Electronic Media Code of Conduct, 2015, prohibits media coverage to proscribed organizations.”
