Action against TTP, its supporters launched - Pakistan - DAWN.COM
ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said on Saturday that action had been launched against the outlawed Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), its supporters and sympathisers
Speaking at a press conference, he said it had been decided in the National Action Plan that TTP operatives, their supporters, masterminds and financiers would be identified across the country. The federal intelligence agencies would cooperate with provinces to accomplish the task, he added.
Chaudhry Nisar said there were around 60 banned outfits, but all were not involved in terrorism. Some were operating under new names and some quietly operating with the same old names, he added.
The minister said funds of banned organisations would be blocked and legal action would be initiated against them. If they remain adamant, their cases would also be referred to military courts.
He said the banned outfits would not be allowed to collect donations and sacrificial hides and their bank accounts would be seized. They would also not be allowed to use social media for anti-state propaganda, he added.
Chaudhry Nisar said over 100 terrorists had been killed in over 400 intelligence-based operations across the country during the past three months. Over 250 had been arrested and investigation was in progress.
He said most religious seminaries had nothing to do with terrorism, but some of them were serving as safe havens for terrorists or providing support to them in one way or the other.
He said action would be taken against only those seminaries against which concrete evidence was available and the evidence would also be shared with their umbrella bodies.
“A meeting of these organisations will be convened in Islamabad soon,” he said.
The minister said the government had requested four countries to send donations to religious groups and parties and madressahs through official channels in order to block flow of money to terrorists.
A combing operation in all provinces would also be started to identify people who “are where they are not supposed to be”. Those Afghan refugees who had left their camps and moved to settled areas would be pinpointed and taken back to the camps. He said most of them were peaceful, but if they were found involved in terrorism they would not be spared.
