LHC throws out plea seeking extension in TLP chief’s detention
Saad Rizvi's detention order is set to expire on July 10

LAHORE: A provincial review board on Friday turned down the Punjab government’s plea seeking further extension in detention of proscribed Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan(TLP) chief Saad Rizvi.

The review board headed by Lahore High Court (LHC) Justice Malik Shahzad Ahmad Khan and comprising Justices Aalia Neelum and Sadqat Ali Khan announced the decision.

Rizvi was produced in the LHC earlier amid tight security arrangements. Both male and female police personnel were deployed at the court premises to avoid any untoward situation.

TLP lawyers, outside the court premises, welcomed Rizvi and showered rose petals at him. However, the jail authority took him back to prison after the proceedings.

Rizvi is the son of the firebrand cleric and previous head of the TLP, Khadim Hussain Rizvi, who died in November last year.

He was arrested after TLP's central council warned the government that if it did not expel the French ambassador from the country, they would march towards Islamabad.

The banned outfit called off its violent protests after the federal government tabled a resolution in parliament to debate the French ambassador's expulsion.

Rizvi’s detention order is set to expire on July 10. Under the law, the home department seeks further extension in detention when a period of three months is expired.

However, the government decided against lifting the ban on the TLP it had imposed for the group staging violence across the country for almost a week.

Thr terrorists walk freely in Pakistan, their organisations and Madarasa are running, they openly collect donations, but Pakistan government is after a 27 years old man who only called for demonstrations, its not his fault he has massive following. Release him with caution and arrest the terrorists of Pakistan, close their maddrasa, ban their books.

SC should take notice of unconstitutional ban imposed by the fascist government on TLP.

I am in no way in favor of TLP or any such extremist elements but this illegal detention challenges the writ of law in our country and will bring no good but harm in long term

u guys should understand this that TLP is not like other religious terrorist organisations. they r hardliners but they have never made any anti Pakistan or anti army statements. they have openly supported the army and all its operations against other terrorists. the only reason govt banned them because pti wanted to make an alliance with TLP using sheikh rasheed but failed. every non religious political party has an alliance with a religious party for example pmln is in bed with deobandi tableeghi jamaat, sipah e sahaba and jui-f while pppp has good relations with shia religious parties. so pti wanted to ally with TLP but failed.

Yes, that might be one of the reasons.
