Sheikh Rasheed : Govt to deploy Rangers in Punjab for 60 days to maintain law and order

ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed on Wednesday announced that the government has decided to summon the Punjab Rangers to maintain the law and order situation in the province amid the ongoing protests staged by the proscribed Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP).

Speaking during a press conference in Islamabad, the interior minister said that the government wants to establish peace as there is a lot of pressure on Pakistan.

The minister said that since the ambassador of France is not present in Pakistan, the proscribed organisation seems to have “another agenda”.

“I have warned the supporters of the proscribed organisation to return home,” Rasheed said, adding that if the international community decides to impose a ban on its activities, then it would be beyond the control of the Pakistan government to intervene.
