| [DAWN] The names of Taji Khokhar and his son Farrukh Khokhar have been added to the Fourth Schedule of the Anti-Terrorism Act. With the new addition, the number of people on the list from Islamabad is now 23, including a man who died a few years ago. After the father and son were released from prison on bail, the interior ministry placed them on the Fourth Schedule, which has been conveyed to the National Counter Terrorism Authority (Nacta). "Most of the people on the Fourth Schedule are from religious segments or nationalists as they incite people against the state or spread violence. The Khokhars were put on the list because they are prominent land grabbers. Taji Khokhar uses henchmen to keep the locals, mostly in the rural areas, under his influence," an official of the interior ministry said. |
