LAHORE (Dunya News) - Tehreek e-Labbaik ya Rasool Allah (TLYR) leader Maulana Ashraf Jalali on Thursday demanded to create joint investigation team (JIT) on issue of Asia Bibi, a Christian woman acquitted of blasphemy charges by Supreme Court of Pakistan.
Jalali further added to place Asia Bibi on Exit Control List (ECL) till the findings of [would-be] JIT.
Earlier, Jalali on Thursday stated that he had information pertaining to involvement of members of Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) in pillage and vandalism during sit-ins stage by Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) against acquittal of Asia Bibi in blasphemy case.
The religious scholar was talking to media in Lahore.
Jalali urged government to take legal action against all those involved in making statements against Pakistan Army and Judiciary.
“Vandalism and challenging writ of the state aren’t part of our manifesto. We demand govt to recognize workers involved in vandalism and reveal their political identity”, Jalali was quoted as saying.
“The crime of those who dragged army into the dispute and destroyed public and private properties isn’t minor. It isn’t policy of TLYR to drag army into such disputes and create gulf between army and masses”, cleared Jalali.
He went on to say that army had rendered unrivalled sacrifices to curb terrorism and that only enemies of Pakistan could take advantage of such situations.
