No more breach of law by TLP to be tolerated; state organs ready to protect citizens' life, property: NSC
2021-10-30
[DAILYTIMES.PK] The National Security Committee (NSC) on Friday resolved not to tolerate any further breach of law by the members of Tehrik-e-Labaik Pakistain (TLP), as all the state organs stood ready to act as per law to protect the life and property of citizens.
Prime Minister Imran Khan
...aka The Great Khan, who ain't the sharpest bulb on the national tree...
, who chaired the 35th meeting of the NSC, also stressed that no group or entity would be allowed to cause public disruption or use violence to pressure the government. Taking serious note of the unprovoked violent mostly peaceful attacks committed by TLP members, the committee members were unanimous that TLP was deliberately employing violence against public property, state officials, and ordinary citizens to create instability in the country and that "this shall not be tolerated."

The committee members emphasized that the government recognized the right of peaceful protest of all Paks. The meeting was attended by relevant federal cabinet members, National Security Adviser, Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee, all three services chiefs, DGs of ISI, IB, and FIA, and senior civil and military officers.

The NSC received a detailed briefing on the country’s internal security situation and the ongoing agitation by the Tehrik-e-Labaik Pakistain (TLP). The prime minister stressed that no group or entity would be allowed to cause public disruption or use violence to pressure the government. The committee praised the police for their professionalism and restraint despite being directly targeted and suffering casualties, including four deaders and over four hundred injured, but warned that the "state’s restraint should not be seen as a sign of weakness."

The prime minister and committee members expressed condolences at the loss of life of coppers and committed to compensating and looking after their families. Commending the exceptional performance of the law enforcement agencies, the prime minister assured that the government would firmly stand behind them as they acted to enforce the law and protect the public. The NSC took notice that no previous government or prime minister had taken such an unequivocal, public international stance on the issue of Namoos-e-Risalat and Islamophobia.

Under the current government, Pakistain has successfully brought these issues to the fore of international diplomatic discourse in the United Nations
...a formerly good idea gone bad...
, Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
, among other fora. It was reiterated that one key objective of establishing the Rehmatul-lil-Alameen Authority was also to intellectually counter international propaganda against Islam and sanctity of the Holy Prophet (PTUI!).
