PPP demands govt to public agreement with banned TLP

ISLAMABAD: Vice President Pakistan People’s Party Senator Sherry Rehman on Monday demanded the federal government to disclose details of the agreement signed with banned Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP), ARY News reported.

In a statement, the PPP senator said that government should inform the public about the agreement with the banned outfit as people of Pakistan have a right to know that what was discussed with a banned group.

“Why govt is not making an agreement with TLP public”? she questioned, adding that several questions had been raised over govt’s step for not making an agreement with the banned TLP public.

The government and the banned Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) had reached an agreement on Sunday after lengthy negotiations, religious scholar Mufti Muneeb-ur-Rehman announced.

Addressing a press conference alongside Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi, National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser, State Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Ali Mohammad Khan and TLP leaders, Mufti Muneeb said the details of the agreement would be revealed in the future.
