Islamabad, Oct 31: After weeks of violent protests by the proscribed extremist political party Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP), the Pakistan government on Sunday announced that an agreement has been reached between the negotiating team and TLP, without sharing any details of the agreement.
The announcement was made at a press conference and attended by Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi, National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser, MNA Ali Mohammad Khan, Mufti Muneeb and TLP members Mufti Ghulam Abbas Faizi and Mufti Mohammad Ameer.
“The government of Pakistan and the TLP had a detailed discussion under the environment of mutual trust and an agreement has been reached between the two sides”, said Mufti.
A committee was also announced to oversee the matter. Notably, TLP began the march calling for the release of jailed leader Saad Rizvi and removal of France’s ambassador over publication caricatures depicting the Prophet Mohammad in a French satirical magazine. Four policemen have been killed and nearly 250 have been sustained injuries in firing by the TLP protestors.
