LAHORE (Dunya News) – PTI led federal government has decided to speed up the implementation of National Action Plan (NAP). The government has banned 11 proscribed organizations in this regard.
According to Dunya News, the interior ministry has banned Al-Anfal trust Lahore, Khidmat-e-Khalaq foundation and Dawat-ul-Arshad under National Action Plan.
According to Interior ministry, AlHamd trust Lahore and Alfazal trust has also been banned. Mosaic and Welfare trust Lahore and Al madina trust were also banned by interior ministry.
Maaz bin Jabal education trust Lahore, Al Isaar trust Lahore, Rehmat organization Bahwalpur and Al Furqan trust Karachi were also among the banned outfits.
The entities were designated as proscribed organisations for their alleged affiliation with banned Jamatud Dawa (JuD), Falah-i-Insaniyat Foundation (FiF) and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM).
In March this year, law enforcement agencies had intensified its ongoing crackdown on JeM, JuD, FIF and other banned outfits, and had arrested more than 100 activists. Nearly 200 seminaries besides hundreds of other facilities and assets associated with them across the country were taken over by the government.
Most of the facilities were later handed over to the Auqaf department, health and education authorities. At many mosques, prayer leaders were replaced.
Earlier, Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi expressed that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) government will ensure the implementation of the National Action Plan (NAP).
Speaking to reporters in Islamabad, Qureshi said, “It is with regret that I say there was no encouragement on the political side for the National Action Plan. There was no commitment in the previous government; however, the PTI government is committed to ensuring the implementation of the NAP.”
“We have invited opposition before and invite them still to sit with us, to arrive at a consensus over NAP,” the foreign minister added.
