An anti-terrorism court in Pakistan has indicted the chief of the outlawed Tehreek Nifaz-i-Shariah Mohammadi (TNSM) Maulana Sufi Mohammad for sedition.
According to Dawn News, during the hearing, the court charged the TNSM chief for treason over his speech against democracy and state at Grassy Ground in Swat in Feb 2009 where he had termed democracy and the then-government as un-Islamic and unconstitutional.
The case was heard in Peshawar's Central Jail.
The court adjourned the hearing till February 21.
