ISLAMABAD: The banned Hizb-ut-Tahrir has urged the chief justice of the Lahore High Court for early hearing of its petition filed on December 21, 2005 before the Rawalpindi bench of the Lahore High Court (LHC), challenging the ban on the organisation.
“The ban on our organisation was clamped by the Musharraf regime without any legal ground as we are peaceful people and strictly believe in peaceful struggle to achieve any objective whatsoever,” said Imran Ahmed, the local spokesman for the Hizb, here on Sunday.
“The ban was unlawful and unjust because we abhor violence and have nothing to do with the violent acts of the Taliban or other extremist groups,” he said. Imran said their organisation never cooperated with any other extremist or sectarian group because they did not believe in violence or sectarianism and were waging a peaceful struggle for the establishment of caliphate.
The Hizb spokesman, who visited The News Bureau office, said the spokesman of the Hizb-ut-Tahrir in Pakistan, Naveed Butt, had filed a writ petition through Ikram Chaudhry, advocate Supreme Court, and Hafiz Abdul Rahman Ansari and Umer Hayat Sindhu, advocates High Court, Lahore.
