Sadly poor Pakistanis will lose lot more than just sleep if JUI becomes another ‘banned’ organization like TTP.

People of Pakistan have already left religious parties in cold, they’ve never been elected into power and last time I checked, a former playboy was ruling the most conservative province of the country. So Pakistan for a young democracy is doing fine.

JUI is just the starkest representation of religiosity in the country. All the other parties are in their own way, equally “religious” and espouse equally regressive policies. The JUI in Pak doesnt need to be banned as it doesnt contradict the constitution as the one in Bangladesh supposedly does. The policies of the JUI in Pakistan are in lockstep with the constitution. In fact, if Pakistan’s Constitution is to be the barometer to determine the validity of a party, then the JUI are the last to be banned.
