All resources are being mobilised to aid the investigation

Prime Minister Imran Khan on Tuesday was presented with a report regarding action being taken against individuals involved in protests called by Tehreek-e-Labaik Pakistan (TLP) after Aasia Bibi's acquittal, Express News reported.

According to the report, cases have been registered against as many as 5,000 violent protesters and all resources are being mobilised, and the federal government will also contact the provincial governments, Ministry of Defence and other state institutions for their help in the matter.



PM Imran was also informed that the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA ) and Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) is taking action against those engaged in cybercrime. Pictures and videos are also being used to aid the investigation against the miscreants.



Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) chief Khadim Hussain Rizvi's account was blocked on Sunday.

The Ministry of Interior on Monday released photographs of several individuals who damaged public property as a crackdown continues against those involved in rioting during a nationwide protest last week.

After the Supreme Court’s Oct 31 judgement that acquitted Aasia Bibi, a Christian woman, in a blasphemy case, the Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) of Khadim Hussain Rizvi launched a countrywide protest, bringing several cities to a standstill for nearly three days.
