ISLAMABAD: About 400 activists of Shabab-i-Milli were booked by police after they took out a rally in favour of the murder convict, Mumtaz Qadri, police said here on Saturday.
On Friday a large number of people gathered at Expressway near Kuri and staged a protest against the conviction. Mumtaz Qadri sentenced to death for killing the Punjab governor, Salman Taseer.
The gathering supported the killer and demanded his acquittal. Besides, the participants criticised the government and judiciary, the police added.
After getting the information the police approached the area and asked them to disperse, but they refused, causing traffic jam at the Expressway, they said.
Later a case was registered against them on charges of PPCs 341, 188 and Amplifier Act, they added.

It is the right way to deal with extremism. No one should be allowed disregard law how strong they may be.

I think Dr Abdullah is very practical person.Almost every person who has been involved with this problem feel this way but due to polatics no one is willing to say it publicly.Why not India/Pakistan accept this fact and get busy improving economy and prosperity of people in both countries.NO ONE IS GOING TO WIN THIS DISPUTE IN HUNDRED OF YEARS.

Their identities should be recorded as I am sure some of them will have terrorist sympathies if not have actual militants among them.

@Sonny Afridi You are right they are ignorant but those who instigated to block the expressway are not ignorant so cases should be registered against them.

@mm "NOW we're heading in the right direction!" Only if those arrested among them are their leaders and they are prosecuted and handed out maximum punishment under the law. Even better, if tried in military courts.

This is a pure legal matter and needs tactful settlement much before it really flares up.

Ask all 400 the question if they would have done the same thing and taken the law in their own hands. If Yes, then you know where we stand, if No, then ask them what were they doing here.

Who are these Shabab-e-Milli organisation. First time heard. The mushroom growth of the extremist organisation has started.Can't the Govt. enact any law curbing crop up of such fanatic organisations, instead of banning them after they come in to existence.
Now, let us see what action Govt. takes after police having registered cases against them.
The history will not spare Nawaz Sharif if he manifest any weakness tackling such extremist and terrorist groups, including those inviting DAESH to avenge against those responsible for action against LAL MASJID in Musharraf era.
Needless to say Musharraf had taken the right action. But this Govt. is showing weakness and not doing anything.

All movements tahreeks and parties have a manifesto and constitution which had to be approved by the Govt.and properly registered and their functionaries background education and qualifications are recorded and told their limits and parameters before they are allowed to function. But there is no such system in Pakistan. If I want I can start such a 'business'without much inquiry by the govt.
