Public gatherings soft targets for terrorists, say spokesperson
Lahore: The Punjab government on Saturday extended Section 144 across the province for seven days, following last week's Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) protests, which left three dead and multiple injured.
Punjab Home Department spokesperson said that Section 144 — which bans gatherings of four or more people — was extended on the recommendation of a cabinet meeting on law and order.
The move comes just a day after the provincial government sent a summary to the federal government, seeking a ban on TLP after the party workers clashed with the law enforcement agencies (LEAs) in Lahore.
The clashes took place between the night of October 12 and October 13 when police uprooted a TLP protest camp in Muridke.
