TLP to march towards Islamabad against blasphemous cartoon competition in Netherlands
 [DAWN] Tehrik-e-Labbaik Pakistain (TLP) has announced that it will begin a "decisive march" from Lahore to Islamabad on Wednesday, and will "stay on the streets until either the publication of blasphemous cartoons in the Netherlands end or the govt immediately ends diplomatic ties with the Dutch".Wouldn't it make more sense to march to Amsterdam? Wildly indignant, as you'd expect, over an announcement by Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders to hold a competition of blasphemous caricatures, the TLP held a meeting in Lahore on Sunday and came up with its line of action and demands. The religiopolitical party urged the Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf ...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations.... (PTI) government to not only "discontinue diplomatic and commercial relations with the Netherlands" but also "demand from other Islamic countries to do the same". The TLP also demands that since the said competition's judge is an American national, "therefore, strict measures should also be taken against the US". Posted by: Fred 2018-08-27 |
