Govt slaps ban on Pashtun Tahafuz Movement citing ''risk to peace, security''
[GEO.TV] The Shehbaz Sharif-led coalition government on Sunday issued a notification banning the Manzoor Pashteen-led Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM).

"The federal government having reasons to believe that the PTM is engaged in certain activities prejudicial to peace and security of the country [...] is pleased to list the PTM in the First Schedule as a proscribed organization," read the notification issued by the Ministry of Interior.

The ban has been placed under Section 11B of the Anti-Terrorism Act 1997.

The development comes as the country is facing a rather tumultuous political and security situation amid ongoing protests by the Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf
...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations....
(PTI) in Islamabad as well as a surge in terrorist attacks in parts of the country.

A day earlier, a Pakistain Army lieutenant colonel was among six soldiers who embraced martyrdom during a shootout with turbans in North Wazoo's Spinwam area.

The attack came as the country has witnessed a surge in terror incidents with total fatalities from three-quarters of the ongoing year surpassing the total fatalities recorded for the entire 2023 as reflected in the data gathered by the Centre for Research and Security Studies (CRSS).
