TLP updates
Life for people in Rawalpindi, Gujranwala, and adjoining areas seems to have come to a halt due to protests by the banned Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan. Mobile phone and internet services in the areas have been closed, while multiple trains have been suspended.
The protesters reached Gujranwala Friday and have been stationed in Wazirabad. They are waiting for instructions from their leadership in Islamabad.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Imran Khan has made a key offer to TLP. He said his government would not oppose the release of TLP Chief Saad Rizvi if courts made a decision, but he would not issue an executive order in this regard. The concession was, however, linked to TLP activists ending their long march. The premier allowed the ulema to meet Saad Rizvi.
