Levies resort to aerial firing to disperse JUI-F activists

ISLAMABAD: Personnel of Balochistan’s Levies Force resorted to aerial firing to disperse Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) activists in Balochistan on Monday.

According to senior journalist Talat Hussain, “Levies and JUI workers clash in Barkhan district of Balochistan bordering Punjab’s DG Khan.”

He, quoting local journalists, said that there were reports of aerial firing as well/


Earlier, after consideration, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government banned Ansarul Islam ahead of JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman-led Azadi March.

The notification issued by federal government read “Government has reasons to believe that Ansarul Islam is capable of functioning as a military organisation, in violation of the prohibition contained in Article 256 of the Constitution”.

However, the court nullified the decision.
