Punjab considers ban on extremist party to maintain rule of law.

Punjab – (Special Correspondent / Web Desk) -The Punjab government, led by Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif, has taken strong new steps to uphold the law and ensure public safety. In a major meeting, leaders decided to ask the federal government to officially ban a radical group. Anyone making hateful speeches or encouraging violence will be arrested right away. People who attack police officers or damage public property will be tried in special courts for terrorism.

The heads of this group will be listed under strict anti-terrorism laws. All of the group’s money, buildings, and assets will be taken over by the government’s Auqaf Department. It is now illegal to show the group’s posters or banners anywhere. Their online accounts will also be shut down. The government will freeze the group’s bank accounts and strictly control the use of loudspeakers.

A secret whistleblower program will allow people to report illegal residents without revealing their identity. A large-scale operation will target illegal businesses run by foreign nationals, who will be sent back to their home countries following federal laws.
