The Pakistan Islamic Party, Tehreek-e-Labbaik TLP, announced the cessation of ongoing protests in Pakistan over the publication of cartoons of Hazrat Mohammad (PBUH) in France after accepting the lawsuit.
Thousands of protesters, led by religious leader Khadim Hussein Rizvi, blocked a major highway in Islamabad on Monday night, demanding the expulsion of the French ambassador and the end of diplomatic relations with the European country. Later, members of Tehreek-e-Labbaik said that an agreement was signed with the Pakistani government on Tuesday morning on the two issues of the boycott of French products and the expulsion of the French ambassador.
The contract has four conditions. First, the local government will ask parliament to expel the French ambassador in two to three months, and no new French ambassador will be appointed. The third condition is related to the boycott of French products, which has also been observed in Pakistan and other countries. Many Islamic countries have protested Makhon as an Islamophobe.
The agreement implies that Pakistan will boycott French products for life. And the agreement ends the clashes of protesters with the police from Sunday. The protesters also had the opportunity to apologize.
The agreement was signed by Pakistani Interior Minister Ijaz Shah and Minister of Religious Affairs Pir Noor-ul-Haq Qaderi. The TLP almost spoke out against the Pakistani government for condemning Islam. According to them, blasphemy against Islam should be punishable by death, which has led to attacks and clashes in recent years.
Last October, a teenager of Chechen descent was beheaded by French teacher Samuel Patty for showing cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad in a class. Makhon called the teacher a “silent hero”. “Samuel Patty was assassinated because the Islamists want to take the future away from us and they know that they cannot do what the ‘silent hero’ can do,” said Machon.
Makho’s remarks have angered several world leaders, including Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan accused the French president of attacking the Muslim faith and called on Islamic countries to work together to fight the growing repression in Europe.
