ISLAMABAD: State Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Ali Muhammad Khan told the National Assembly on Friday that expulsion of the French ambassador from Pakistan as agreed with the Tehrik-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) was conditioned with approval of parliament.
“While reaching an agreement with the TLP, we told them your (TLP) demand will be presented before parliament and whatever decision is taken will be implemented,” Ali Muhammad Khan said.
He said that negotiations were in progress with the protesters and they were told that the government had moved not even an inch back from the agreement. “But as the negotiations were in progress, the TLP leaders suddenly announced a protest,” he said.
