| [DAWN] Tehrik-e-Labbaik Pakistain (TLP) chief Khadim Hussain Rizvi on Tuesday threatened to hold nationwide protests if the government fails to carry out the terms agreed in the controversial army-brokered Faizabad agreement. The contentious Faizabad agreement had led to the resignation of the then law minister Zahid Hamid in return for the Tehrik-e-Labbaik Ya Rasool Allah (TLYRA) promising they would issue no fatwa against him. Rizvi, who was declared an absconder later in the day, has been leading a TLYRA sit-in outside Data Darbar in Lahore since Monday. The leaders at the protest announced that if the conditions stated in the apparently one-sided Faizabad agreement ‐ which had become a cause of much controversy for carrying signatures of an army general as a mediator ‐ are not met, they will announce their future course of action via a presser at 4pm on Wednesday. Khadim Rizvi, others declared absconders TLYRA leaders, including Khadim Hussain Rizvi, were declared absconders by an anti-terrorism court in Islamabad. Others declared absconders by the court in cases filed during and after last year's Faizabad sit-in, include Pir Afzal Qadri, Maulana Inayatullah and Sheikh Azhar. Aabpara police informed the court that summons were posted outside Rizvi's residence and the notice board of the relevant cop shoppe. It requested the court to take the cases forward in absence of the accused. Meanwhile, ...back at the shootout, Butch clutched at his other leg...... the military's spokesperson said later in the day that if the court has issued orders for Rizvi's arrest he should be put behind bars. |
