TLP Shura to make announcement at 11am SAMAA | Roohan Ahmed - Posted: Apr 20, 2021 | Last Updated: 2 hours ago SAMAA | Roohan Ahmed Posted: Apr 20, 2021 | Last Updated: 2 hours ago
The Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan and a government team have reached an agreement after talks through the night, sources confirmed to SAMAA Digital.
Their negotiations began after protracted protests from the political party and its supporters across Pakistan starting last week. The protests began over the publication of blasphemous caricatures in a French magazine. The TLP had been agitating from November and had been in talks with the government. However, when its chief Saad Rizvi planned to march on Islamabad, he was taken into custody. Protests broke out after that, especially in Lahore and Karachi.
