OKARA: Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) Vice Emir Pir Zaheerul Hasan Shah has been arrested after he was booked for inciting violence against Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faez Isa. The TLP leader was hiding at an unknown place in Okara, the sources added.

A First Information Report (FIR) was lodged in Lahore's Qila Gujjar Singh police station on behalf of Station House Officer (SHO) Hammad Hussain against Pir Zaheerul Hasan Shah and 1,500 party workers for issuing death threats to the chief justice. The case refers to a speech made by Shah during a protest rally outside the Lahore Press Club during a demonstration against the SC verdict in the Mubarak Sani case.

The FIR includes provisions of the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) and those related to spreading religious hatred and anarchy, pressuring and threatening the higher judiciary, interference in state affairs, obstructing in performance of legal duties and others. It is to be noted that apart from TLP, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Sami (JUI-S), Mili Yakjehti Council Pakistan (MYC) and Wafaqul Madaris-ul-Arabiya (WMA) have also voiced their opposition to the apex court's verdict in the said case.

The opposition comes despite the clarification issued by the apex court on Friday which said that the court's verdict clearly states that no one can be a Muslim without having faith in the finality of prophethood of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
