Punjab Moves TLP-Linked Mosques to Mufti Muneeb, Rebuts Claim of 600 Deaths

The province seeks to restore religious oversight through senior clerics after a federal ban on TLP.

Overview

  • Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz condemned violence carried out in the name of religion or politics and urged parties to disown armed elements.
  • She said sealed mosques and seminaries previously linked to the proscribed group were placed under Mufti Muneebur Rehman’s supervision rather than the Auqaf department.
  • Maryam rejected online allegations that police killed 600 TLP workers, demanding verifiable evidence such as lists, bodies or hospital records.
  • Authorities reported recovering cash bundles and large caches of weapons during raids on TLP offices after the unrest.
  • The federal ban followed deadly clashes in Muridke that left at least four people, including a police SHO, dead, while TLP chief Saad Rizvi and his brother Anas remain at large as detentions continue and wrongful arrests are to be reviewed.
