The list comes after the government on Monday made a decisive move against proscribed organisations that were still working undercover. The government prohibited fundraising as well as social, political, welfare and religious activities being carried by proscribed organisations and individuals despite the ban.

Islamabad police have so far registered three First Information Reports (FIR) against those putting up FIF banners in the capital.
