Govt, TLP agreement to be brought to parliament: minister

Islamabad (HRNW) Pakistan’s Religious Affairs Minister Noorul Haq Qadri said on Friday that the PTI government would soon take its 2020 agreement with Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan to parliament.
“We talked about bringing this matter to parliament and it will be brought to the parliament,” Qadri said, referring to a meeting with Prime Minister Imran Khan and other ministers two days ago.
In its agreement with the right-wing Barelvi group, the government negotiators had agreed to expel the French ambassador from Pakistan with “consensus from parliament” after the TLP staged a protest in Islamabad over the publication of blasphemous caricatures in a French magazine.
“This issue will be resolved with parliament’s consultation and assistance,” Qadri told SAMAA TV.
“It is parliament’s authority whether they consider it right or wrong,” the minister said, when asked if the French ambassador would be expelled from Pakistan.
