TLP stages sit-in at Faizabad

RAWALPINDI: The Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) has staged a sit-in at Faizabad, demanding a government boycott of Israeli products and humanitarian aid to Palestinians, ARY News reported on Saturday.

In a statement, TLP leader Saad Hussain Rizvi said that the sit-in will continue until their demands are met.

He emphasised that the party will not budge until the government officially boycotts Israeli products and provides medical and food aid to Palestinians.

TLP supporters have gathered in large numbers, chanting slogans and demanding action against Israeli atrocities.

The sit-in has caused disruptions in the city, with the metro bus service from Faizabad to the Secretariat suspended and limited to the IG Police Station.

The war started with Hamas’s October attack on southern Israel, which resulted in the deaths of 1,195 people, according to an AFP tally based on Israeli figures.

Israel responded with a military offensive that has killed at least 38,345 people in Gaza, also mostly civilians, according to the health ministry in Hamas-ruled Gaza.
