ISLAMABAD: The government has labelled the outlawed Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) as Fitna al Khawarij and proscribed two more outfits, Majeed Brigade (MB) and Hafiz Gul Bahadur Group (HGBG), taking the total number of banned organisations to 81.
The National Counter Terrorism Authority (Nacta) has also updated its list of proscribed organisations. The government has banned at least three militant groups this year, as Zainbiyoun Brigade was proscribed on March 29, marking the first addition to the list since August 2020.
