Federal govt forms fact-finding committee on Faizabad sit-in

Islamabad: The federal government on Friday constituted a fact-finding committee to determine those responsible for the Faizabad sit-in.

The Supreme Court of Pakistan (SC) in its detailed four-page written order invited all the concerned parties to clarify their positions in the Faizabad sit-in case.

A three-member bench of the Supreme Court (SC) would take up Faizabad sit-in review petitions for hearing on November 1.

According to details, Attorney General of Pakitan Usman Awan submitted the implementation report in the Faizabad sit-in case to the Supreme Court, in which the federal government has said it has established a fact-finding committee to unmask the responsible behind the 2017 Faizabad sit-in.

The report stated that the fact-finding committee included the Additional Secretary of the Interior, Defense, and Director ISI under already set TORs.

A day earlier, Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan was given clean chit in Faizabad sit-in case. The ECP exonerated the party from the charges in a report submitted before the top court.
