Sindh govt restricts movement of dozens of ‘firebrand’ clerics for two months

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.”
