During the course of proceedings, the counsel for the Pak-Turk schools administration pleaded that the Turkish government had no role in the establishment of the schools, it was the Turkish people who had donated funds for the creation of the schools. On this Justice Ahsan responded that 40 other countries had also shut these schools down, and that the PTICEF has been declared a terrorist organisation. The lawyer for the Pak-Turk schools maintained that Malaysia had not banned these schools. At the same time he also asked the counsel that he cannot defend a proscribed organisation in court. The counsel argued that the interior and foreign ministries of Pakistan had allowed the organisation to open up schools here.
