The Supreme Court (SC) on Tuesday told the government to build an educational institution on the site of the demolished Jamia Hafsa, and questioned as to why the government had tolerated a madrassa built on encroached land for years.A four-member bench of the SC comprising Justice Javed Iqbal, Justice Fakir Muhammad Khokhar, Justice Mian Shakirullah Jan and Justice M Javed Buttar heard the suo motu case of the Lal Masjid and Jamia Hafsa operation.
Interior Secretary Syed Kamal, Islamabad Deputy Commissioner Chaudhry Muhammad Ali, and the Interior Ministrys National Crisis Management Cell Director General Brigadier (r) Javed Iqbal Cheema appeared in court. Why did the Capital Development Authority (CDA) turn a blind eye [to the madrassa] despite having a huge army of employees? asked Justice Javed Iqbal in response to the arguments of respondents, who contended that a sizable portion of the madrassa was built on encroached state land.
The court told the authorities to address the grievances of the families of those killed in the operation. The Interior Ministry was also directed to speed up the process of DNA testing to identify the dead.
Kamal told the court that all those arrested during the Lal Masjid operation had been released except for head cleric Maulana Abdul Aziz and his daughter Tayyaba Dua. He also told the court that Dua would be released as well. He said 42 bodies had so far been identified by DNA testing and 20 remained.
The Supreme Court (SC) on Friday directed the government to release on bail the people arrested during the Lal Masjid operation except those involved in serious crimes, submit a detailed report on the total deaths and injuries, and provide treatment to Maulana Abdul Azizs wife Umme Hasaan.
Lal Masjid students on Thursday threatened more abductions if illegal and un-Islamic activities continued in Islamabad, Dawn News reported. The channel said Lal Masjid clerics threatened to kidnap Pakistanis and foreigners shrugging off the presence of rangers and police contingents outside the mosque. The channel reported Ghazi Abdur Rasheed of Lal Masjid as denying that the madrassa administration had declared suicide attacks legal. Only in case of attack, we will defend ourselves, and suicide attacks can be the last option in self-defence, he added. 
The Lal Masjid administration on Tuesday withdrew its decision to suspend talks with the government and announced that they had resumed negotiations to try and find a peaceful end to the standoff in the capital.
The Islamabad district administration on Monday met with Interior Secretary Syed Kamal Shah to draw a strategy for the much-awaited crackdown on the administration and students of Jamia Hafsa and Jamia Fareedia but no date was set for the action.
