According to online newspaper Pakistan Punjab Chief Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif has said enemies of
Pakistan are conspiring to destabilize the country and it is the collective
responsibility of all citizens to foil their nefarious designs through
maintaining unity and harmony in their ranks. He was addressing a high level
meeting to ensure law and order and an atmosphere of peace and harmony during
Moharram-ul-Haram, here on Monday. Shahbaz said that Islam is a religion of
peace and harmony and directed that stern action should be taken against the
elements promoting sectarianism. He said that it is the national and
religious responsibility of elected representatives to play an active role for
the maintenance of law and order during Moharram-ul-Haram.
The meeting also reviewed the security arrangements on
the routes of mourning processions. Addressing the meeting, the Chief Minister
said that Punjab government has evolved a solid strategy for maintaining law
and order during Moharram-ul-Haram and the situation is being closely watched
with the cooperation of Ulema, Zakireen and public representatives while
security arrangements around mosques and Imam Barghas have been intensified. He
said that strict action is being taken against those who are providing lodging
at hotels, guest houses and inns to the guests without checking their national
identity card and it has been made binding upon the owners not to allow anyone
not having original ID card stay at their hotel, guest house or inn. He said
that action is being taken without any discrimination against those delivering
provocative speeches while a complete ban has been imposed on the publication
of objectionable literature. He further directed that the ban on wall-chalking
should be strictly imposed. He directed that four-tier security arrangements
should be ensured for Majalis and mourning processions while parking
arrangements should be made at a distance from the security cordon. He said
that debris lying on the routes of mourning processions should immediately be
removed whereas arrangements for generators, streetlights and cleanliness
should be finalized. He said that the routes of mourning processions should be cleared
only after thorough checking. Online newspaper Pakistan says that there should not be any negligence
in the checking of the participants of Majalis and religious processions
through metal detectors and scanners.
The Chief Minister ordered suspension of
the concerned Superintendent Jail on the complaint of violation of the ban on
the use of mobile phone in prison and directed IG Jails to ensure strict implementation of this ban in prisons. He directed that
police and law enforcement agencies should perform their duties efficiently
during Moharram-ul-Haram and no one should be allowed to pass the security cordon without checking. He directed Members Cabinet Committee to
monitor the arrangements for law and order during Moharram-ul-Haram on daily
basis and Assembly Members should also attend these meetings at any cost. The
Chief Minister further directed that observance of the timings fixed for the
start and termination of processions should be ensured. He also directed that
