Explosives were found from a madrassa run by Lal Masjid cleric Abdul Aziz in Rajanpur, a news channel reported.
According to details, police Tuesday raided the madrassa on a tip-off regarding suspicious activities inside.
Police detained Abdullah, the custodian of the madrassa and also registered a case against him.
A large number of civil society members have earlier staged protests against Aziz outside Lal Masjid after the controversial cleric refused to condemn the Taliban attack on Army Public School and College Peshawar on December 16 which claimed the lives of at least 133 children. He had also justified the Taliban’s stance, saying the army was also killing innocent tribesmen and the school attack was a reaction to such killings.
In addition, Mutahidda Qaumi Movement (MQM) has also got registered a First Information Report (FIR) in Karachi against Aziz for giving life threats to MQM Chairman Altaf Hussain through a video message.
