LONDON: A UK-based fundamentalist group has hatched a plot to overthrow Pakistan’s government through a “bloodless coup” and establish a “caliphate” in which Islamic laws will be rigorously enforced, a media report said.

Followers of the Hizb-ut-Tahrir, which is banned in Pakistan, aim for a “bloodless military coup” and creation of the caliphate in Islamabad, The Sunday Times reported. Members of the group, which describes itself as “the Liberation Party in Britain”, claim they had targeted the UK as a base from which to spread Islamic rule across the world. The report said a dozen British Hizb-ut-Tahrir activists are currently based in Lahore and Karachi, or keep travelling between the UK and Pakistan, and there are many more.
