LAHORE: Hafiz Mohammad Saad Rizvi, leader of the banned Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP), has said that all party workers should return peacefully to their homes and fully cooperate with law enforcement agencies. The statement came in the form of a letter shared by Dr Shahbaz Gill, Special Assistant to Prime Minister Imran Khan, on Twitter.
In his statement, Hafiz Saad Rizvi addressed all members and workers of the party and appealed that for the sake of national and public interest, they should refrain from taking any illegal step.
Saad Rizvi said that all protest rallies and road blocks should be ended immediately and that all party workers should peacefully return home while extending full cooperation to law enforcement agencies.
Concluding his message, he said that the protest and sit-in outside the Center and the Rehmatul-il-Alameen Mosque should also be stopped immediately.
Earlier in the day, head of the Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan in Karachi Razi Hussaini warned to leave the party if TLP chief Saad Rizvi refuses to shun support for violent acts.
“Saad Rizvi should shun stubbornness as issues could not be resolved on roads,” he said in a video message and added that if the situation persists then the nation would be disappointed with the TLP chief.
He regretted that several lives were lost owing to mayhem at the country’s roads during the past days and directed the TLP activists to shun protest and approach the party leadership for future plans.
He further asked the head of the TLP negotiating team, Dr Shafiq, to immediately address the issues faced by the party and return to the negotiating table.
