TLP cleric remanded as incendiary leader evades arrest

LAHORE: A Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) leader was remanded on Tuesday in the case of inciting people against the chief justice, while the prime instigator, Pir Zaheerul Hassan Shah, remains at large days after his controversial speech.

Maulana Muhammad Tahir Saifi, who was arrested after Shah’s speech went viral, has been remanded into police custody for seven days.

Saifi was presented before Judge Khalid Arshad of the anti-terrorism court, where the investigating officer played a video of his speech delivered last week.
