KARACHI: In view of the prevailing law and order situation in the province, the Sindh government has banned movement of dozens of Sunni and Shia “firebrand speakers”.

A home department notification issued here on Monday said: “Keeping in view the prevailing law and order situation in the province, it is imperative to restrict the firebrand speakers/scholars in the districts of Sindh province, acting in a manner prejudicial to public safety and maintenance of public order.

The Sindh government in exercise of powers conferred u/s 5 (1) (a) and (c) of the Sindh Maintenance of Public Order Ordinance, 1960 has ordered that the provocative speakers can not travel, enter, reside in Sindh and other provinces.”

The move is seen as a regular practice of the authorities with the beginning of Muharram.
