Islamabad (HRNW) The government will be withdrawing cases against workers of the Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan by Tuesday, Federal Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed has announced. The protests will continue until then.
Federal Minister for Religious Affairs Noor-ul-Haq Qadri has said that there would be no further clashes between the police and protesters.
“We will also oversee the charges imposed under the 4th schedule,” Rasheed said in a press conference Sunday.
According to the National Counter Terrorism Authority, an individual about whom either there is credible intelligence information or who has a history of being linked to a banned organisation can be proscribed by the Home Department of a province and can be subjected to restrictions on travel, speech, and business, under the Anti Terrorism Act, 1997.
TLP supporters have been on the roads in Lahore and Rawalpindi since Thursday. On Friday, they began marching on Islamabad, demanding the release of the party’s heir Saad Rizvi.
Rasheed, after eight-hour-long negotiations with the banned party, said that on Monday (October 25), TLP leaders will visit the interior ministry. He has told the district administrations of Rawalpindi and Islamabad to remove barricades from the roads.
“The protesters have decided to stay at Muridke till Tuesday [October 26].”
The minister added that he had a one-on-one conversation with Saad Rizvi and the negotiations turned out to be successful.
