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.
