Pakistan Widens TLP Crackdown as Court Sets Deadline for KP Chief Minister’s Oath

The response now shifts to asset seizures with a court deadline set for the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief minister’s oath.

Overview

  • Law enforcement says it has traced TLP leaders Saad Rizvi and Ins Rizvi and intends to arrest them soon.
  • Police report a raid on Saad Rizvi’s residence yielding about Rs114.4 million in cash, gold valued over Rs63 million, and multiple foreign currencies, while the FIA freezes bank accounts linked to alleged protest funding.
  • Large FIRs carrying anti-terror provisions name the Rizvi leadership and thousands of participants, with additional cases registered across Punjab and suspects sent to physical remand by anti-terrorism courts.
  • Officials detail Muridke clashes in which SHO Shehzad Nawaz Jhummt was killed and at least 48 security personnel were injured, with around 40 vehicles torched and petrol bombs, nail-studded sticks, and snatched firearms used.
  • The Peshawar High Court orders Governor Faisal Karim Kundi to administer Suhail Afridi’s oath by 4pm today or have the Speaker do so, and the governor says he will fulfill his constitutional duty.
