Matter settled between TLP, govt: Rana Sana
ISLAMABAD, Jun 17 (APP):Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah on
Saturday announced that after the successful negotiations with the
government, Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) had called off its "Pakistan
Bachao March" (Save Pakistan March).
He was addressing a press conference flanked by TLP's leader Shafiq
Amini.
The minister said that after the second round of talks, crucial matters were
settled with the TLP.
He said that talks were primarily focused on safeguarding the Prophethood,
and curbing blasphemy which is integral to every Muslim's faith.
Regarding the TLP’s demand for the release of Aafia Siddiqui, Sanaullah
described her case as a national issue that saddened every Pakistani.
He urged human rights organizations to pay attention to her situation and
assured that the government would write a letter to United States (US)
authorities regarding her imprisonment, considering her 86-year sentence
unfair.
Rana Sanaullah said that the government also accepted other demands of
TLP, including a reduction in petrol prices.
He said Finance Minister Ishaq Dar briefed the TLP negotiators about how
petrol prices were determined and assured them to decrease petrol prices
and resolve issues peacefully.
The TLP leader appreciated the government for avoiding confrontation,
unlike its predecessor.
