Islamabad, Dec 24: Pakistan’s Interior Ministry has opposed the registration of Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed’s Milli Muslim League (MML) as a political party with the Election Commission saying that it as an “offshoot of proscribed entities”.
The ministry formed its opinion on the basis of a security agency’s report which expressed apprehensions that the registration of MML as a political party “would breed violence and extremism in politics,” Dawn newspaper reported.
The ministry in its written reply submitted to the Islamabad High Court on a petition filed by MML seeking its registration with the ECP requested the court not to consider MML’s plea and dismiss the petition accordingly.
