The Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa government has imposed a ban on public employees attending rallies organised by the outlawed Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM). The notification, circulated to all provincial departments, warned civil servants against any involvement with proscribed organisations. “All administrative and police officers shall take appropriate measures in accordance with law to ensure that directions contained herein are implemented in letter and spirit.” Simultaneously, the federal government has placed PTM leader Manzoor Pashteen and others on the Fourth Schedule.
