JUI-F leader held for hate speech

CHINIOT (Staff Report) - Senior JUI-F leader Mufti Kifayat Ullah has been arrested for making a hateful speech in Chiniot, said sources on Thursday.

The Jamiat Ulama-e-Islam (Fazal) has been held by the counter terrorism force for allegedly preaching violence in his address to a gathering.

The political leadership agreed at a twenty-point National Action Plan (NAP) to combat terrorism following a deadly attack on Army Public School Peshawar that left as many as 140 people dead in last December. The NAP also carried a provision to put an end to hate speech.
