Sources in the government told Pakistan Today that the federal cabinet on Saturday approved the de-proscription of the TLP, after the political party and the government had struck a secretive deal earlier this week. The federal cabinet approved the removal of the party’s proscribed status through a circulation summary sent by the interior ministry, sources said, which mentioned that TLP has assured the government it will not organise violent protests in the future. During the proceedings, the prosecution did not oppose the bail in light of the agreement that assured the detained TLP leaders would be released. The petitioner’s counsels told the court that the TLP leaders and workers had been detained on “baseless charges”. Last week, the government had successfully reached an agreement with the TLP, putting an end to a 10-day protest.
