A man allegedly distributing pamphlets of the proscribed outfit Hizb ut-Tahrir (HuT) outside a mosque in Islamabad has been arrested by police.

Five men were handing out pamphlets outside a mosque in Sector G-7/2 meant to incite the public against the government and state institutions, said police officials.

According to the police, the pamphlets read, “Get rid of this weak leadership which seeks honour in subservience to and alliance with America.”

The papers also carried a hate speech against the government and the institutions of Pakistan.

The police have booked the five suspects under the anti-terrorism law.
