Lahore: The Punjab government has suspended mobile phone and internet services in different areas of Lahore.
According to the report, mobile phone and internet services in different areas of Punjab Provincial Capital Lahore have been suspended at the direction of the Home Department.
As per details, mobile phone along internet service have been suspended in Iqbal Town, Moon Market, Scheme Mor, Yateem Khana Chowk and Samanabad along with others
Sources said that the suspension of mobile phone and internet service was likely to prevent violent protests by the Tehreek-e-Labaik Pakistan and to take action against those involved in violence against institutions and police personnel.
Earlier, Interior Ministry issued a notification declaring Tehreek-e-Labaik Pakistan a banned political party under the anti-terrorism law.
The ban came after a summary was approved by Prime Minister Imran Khan and the federal cabinet on Thursday from the interior ministry seeking a ban on the Tehreek-e-Labaik Pakistan (TLP).
After the summary was approved, the cabinet division has also started work issuing the declaration of the TLP's ban. The government will present the declaration of the ban in the Supreme Court, said sources.
The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) will subsequently denotify the TLP on orders of the apex court.
According to details, approval from the federal cabinet was obtained through a circulation summary.
