The organisations like Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, Sipah-e-Muhammad, Lashkar-e-Islam, Jaish-e-Muhammad et cetera suffered enormous restrictions after the imposition of ban. They couldn’t carry on with their sinister agenda once the government imposed an outright ban on their activities. This produced desired results in the form of few sectarian killings compared to the pre-ban years. On the other hand, the recent ban on “Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan” is pretty much on paper. TTP cannot be compared with the afore-mentioned militant organisations that were local polities and had few resources in terms of money and weaponry. TTP on the other hand is covertly funded by Al-Qai’da and perhaps aided by Russian [and other] underworld arms dealers, RAW, CIA et al.
