A First Information Report (FIR) was filed against the banned sectarian outfit Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat (ASWJ) earlier today for “spreading religious hatred, violating the Amplifier Act and interfering in governmental functions”.
Station House Officer (SHO) Nawaz Bhatti at the the Secretariat police station registered the FOR which named party chief Maulana Mohammad Ahmed Ludhianvi along with other representatives of the ASWJ.
The party members staged a protest outside the Supreme Court over the death of party leader Maulana Mazhar Siddiqui. The FIR also mentions charges against the party members for carrying Siddiqui’s dead body from Nadra Chowk to the Supreme Court during which there was a scuffle with the police and party members snatched their batons outside the court. The ASWJ was formerly known as the SSP (Sipah-Sahabah-Pakistan) but after it was banned it reincarnated itself as the ASWJ
Six party workers have also been arrested as yet.
