The Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) on Thursday also banned coverage by all television and radio licensees of the proscribed Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP).

The Federal government earlier today imposed a ban on the Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) under the anti-terrorism act.

A notification was issued by the Ministry of Interior after the federal cabinet approved the summary seeking a ban on religio-political party.

Addressing a joint presser along with Religious Affairs Minister Noorul Haq Qadri earlier, Sheikh Rasheed said that a separate summary would be sent to the cabinet for dissolution of the TLP through a reference in the Supreme Court of Pakistan on Friday (tomorrow).
