...a Pak religious party. It is usually part of the govt, never part of the solution...
's (JUI-F) leader Mufti Kifayatullah was taken into custody for 30 days under Section 3 (power to arrest and detain suspected persons) of the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) and shifted to Haripur jail, sources in police confirmed to DawnNewsTV on Sunday.

Sources said that Mufti Kifayatullah was taken into custody in early hours from Islamabad's E-11 area by Mansera police with the help of Islamabad police after Mansera deputy commissioner issued his arrest orders.

According to Hazarvi, Kifayatullah was arrested at 4am near Masjid Tooba in Islamabad's E-11 area. He had been holed up staying at a hideout friend's apartment.
