TLP's rally against blasphemous caricatures on its way to Amsterdam Islamabad
2018-08-30
[DAWN] Tehrik-e-Labbaik Pakistain (TLP) on Wednesday started its march from Lahore to Islamabad ‐ a form of protest against Dutch Freedom Party leader Geert Wilders' announcement to hold a competition of blasphemous caricatures ‐ as its demand for the expulsion of the Netherlands' ambassador to Pakistain from the country remained unfulfilled.

After the party's supporters gathered at Data Darbar, the TLP rally kicked off its journey reciting na`at and chanting religious slogans. The group has crossed Kala Shah Kaku on the G T Road and is closing in on Gujranwala.

Upon its arrival in Kamoke ‐ some 25km from Gujranwala ‐ the Khadim Hussain Rizvi-led rally was given a welcome by its supporters.

Following the rally's departure for Islamabad, Prime Minister Imran Khan
... aka Taliban Khan, who isn't your heaviest-duty thinker, maybe not even among the top five...
formed a four-member committee to resolve the matter.

Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Wormtongue Qureshi, Federal Minister for Religious Affairs Noorul Haq, the Punjab
1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots....

Law Minister Raja and Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry comprise the committee, which is scheduled to meet the TLP leaders tomorrow.

"The committee will brief the TLP leaders on measures against blasphemous caricatures," said Qadri.

"The emotions of all Moslems against blasphemous caricatures is the same," Chaudhry, the information minister added. "A joint front is imperative against blasphemy."

He added: "We are trying to devise a joint strategy so that this issue can be dealt with effectively. We desire a peaceful resolution of this matter by the way of negotiations."
