]]> Leaders of the banned terrorist outfit Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan (SSP) were invited to an Iftar dinner hosted by Director General Rangers Sindh Major General Azhar Waqas at Rangers Office, Karachi last week.

SSP leaders Rab Nawaz Hanfi and Aqib Swati were invited to the dinner, according to social media reports.

Anti-Shia militant group SSP was founded in September 1985 and was involved in terrorism, violent sectarianism, and local and national electoral politics. It was banned by then-president Pervez Musharraf in 2002 as a terrorist organisation under the Anti-Terrorism Act of 1997.

Human rights activist Asad Gokal posted on Twitter that the DG Rangers Sindh invited the leaders of the banned terrorist outfit Sipah Sahaba to an Iftar dinner hosted at Rangers Office, Karachi.
He said: “State relaunching blood-thirsty extremists & their fav strategic assets. Dark times ahead!”

Earlier, SSP leader Muavia Azam Tariq was allowed to leave Pakistan and tour Europe, despite being on the Fourth Schedule List of the Anti-Terrorism Act.

According to National Counter Terrorism Authority (NACTA), any individual who has a history of being linked to a proscribed organisation can be subjected to restrictions on travel, speech, and business, under the Anti-Terrorism Act of 1997. The names of such proscribed persons are included in the 4th Schedule.

NACTA’s website states that there are passport and arms license embargos on such individuals. The list of proscribed persons is also shared with the State Bank of Pakistan for monitoring and freezing of their accounts. They are also kept under strict surveillance by intelligence agencies as well as concerned police departments. There is also a ban on loans and credit cards for them.

He said that strict measures are only taken against those people who are anti-status quo.

He added that his bank accounts are not being monitored and he can take out all the money he wants to since he is a ‘political’ person.
