TLP Files Petition Challenging Government Ban Notification

The proscribed Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) has filed a review petition challenging the federal government’s recent ban placed on the party. The petition contests the Interior Ministry’s Oct 24 notification that added TLP to the list of proscribed organisations under the Anti-Terrorism Act, 1997. Submitted within the 30-day appeal window, the plea argues that the ban was imposed without considering past legal decisions, including TLP’s earlier removal from the proscribed list, its restoration by the ECP, and previous agreements with the government. The party’s lawyers claim the new decision contradicts earlier commitments and legal procedures. The Interior Ministry will now review the petition and supporting documents before deciding whether to maintain, modify, or withdraw the ban. If rejected, TLP may take the case to the Supreme Court.
