Which section of the Anti-Terrorism Act 1997 did the Federal Government invoke to declare the Pashtun Tahaffuz Movement (PTM) as an 'unlawful' organization on October 6, 2024?

Explanation

The Federal Government banned the Pashtun Tahaffuz Movement (PTM) on October 6, 2024, citing threats to national security and public order. The ban was imposed under Section 11B of the Anti-Terrorism Act 1997, as the PTM was deemed a significant risk to peace and was added to the First Schedule of proscribed organizations. This move followed allegations against the movement of inciting unrest, which PTM leaders have strongly denied.
