LAHORE – The Home Department of Punjab has included the name of ‘Hafiz Muhammad Saad, head of the banned Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP), in the fourth schedule of the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) 1997.
The government has issued a notification in this regard while the property of the TLP Chief has been frozen.
Rizvi will not be able to use any of the bank accounts or buy or sell the property as the NADRA has also blocked his National Identity card.
Meanwhile, the National Counter Terrorism Authority (NCTA) also added the right-wing party to its list of banned organisations.
The banned organisation chief has to submit his original passport to the in-charge of the concerned police station. His name would be placed on the Exit Control List (ECL) by the Interior Ministry.
