Ahmed Ludhianvi, leader of the proscribed ASWJ,
expressed confidence that his party would be taken off the list
of banned organisations. Mr. Ludhianvi said he had held meetings
with officials and the political leadership in this regard. He
said that meeting officials or political leaders from the centre
or Punjab was a routine matter for all politicians, including
him. "I have one bone to pick with the system - whenever there
is a need to pacify enraged ASWJ workers or to negotiate with
militants, I am called in for the sake of Pakistan. But, legally,
I am a proscribed person and my party is still a banned group,"
he told journalists. He was referring to negotiations with the
militants who had attacked the GHQ in 2009. The ASWJ leader said:
"The decision-makers of the state have acknowledged my grievances,
but if they are not ready to allow us to work as a legal entity
in the country, I will not cooperate with them in the future."

Karachi / Sindh |
Proscribed sectarian outfit ASWJ is among the
religious parties holding protest demonstrations for the Rohingya
Muslims. Leaders of the proscribed group held a rally in Karachi,
the provincial capital of Sindh. They had joined hands with other
religious parties to hold demonstrations in Islamabad on September
8. Civil society activists criticised the government for, what
they termed, a failure of the NAP, adding that proscribed groups
should not be allowed to hold political activities. Activists
have been warning that the Government's unwillingness to act against
such groups might affect the progress of the ongoing military
operations against terrorism.
