The government has approved a ban on fugitive Adil Farooq Raja, declaring him a proscribed individual for supporting and propagating anti-state narratives.     

A notification issued by the Interior Ministry says the ban has been imposed under Section 11[EE] of the Anti-Terrorism Act, 1997.

The Ministry says Adil Farooq Raja's conduct is contrary to the sovereignty and national interests of Pakistan and is based on prejudice.
