The Federal Investigation Agency's (FIA) Cyber Crime Wing Thursday launched an operation against the proscribed Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan's (TLP) social media accounts, arresting its 12 members.

According to a statement issued by the FIA, 12 people were arrested during the crackdown in Lahore, Faisalabad, Nankana Sahab, Islamabad, and other cities of Punjab.
The arrested individuals were involved in uploading hate-inciting material and doctored images on the internet through the proscribed organisation's social media handles.
Those arrested were identified as Shahzeb Nazeer, Naeem, Ayub, Muhammad Hussain, Muhammad Hassan, Ghulam Shabbir, and Hamza Sheikh, among others.
Furthermore, the Gujranwala police booked 119 nominated and 2,000 unidentified members of banned religious outfit.
Police inserted 16 multiple offences including attempted murder, kidnap, dacoity, sabotage, damage to public property and anti-terrorism. The complainant, who is the Kamuke SHO, said protesters snatched police gadgets, vehicles and motorcycles from the riot police and escaped. As many seven policemen suffered injuries in attack.

Fawad rules out negotiation with TLP until roads clearance, handing over of killers
Minister for Information and Broadcasting Chaudhry Fawad Hussain on Thursday ruled out possibility of negotiations with proscribed Tehreek-e-Labbaik (TLP) until it cleared all the roads and handed over the culprits, who martyred policemen during recent clashes.
Fawad made the announcement in a tweet while urging patriots to distance themselves away from the ongoing protests of the proscribed TLP and return home instead of becoming part of a campaign which as tantamount to terrorism against state.
Meanwhile, in another tweet, the minister, responding to a journalist’s question, made it clear that there was a difference between protest of a ‘political party’ and a ‘proscribed party’.
He also cited the example of protest launched by different political parties including the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
All those political movements were not armed, he said, adding it was unfortunate that some ‘half baked intellechawals’ were trying to portray ‘terrorism’ of a banned organization as a ‘political matter’.
