Background
editThe protest sit-in at Faizabad Interchange was initiated by the TLP under the leadership of Saad Hussain Rizvi. The sit-in followed a protest march that began at Liaquat Bagh in Rawalpindi.[4] The march drew participants from various parts of the Rawalpindi Division.[5]
Demands
editThe TLP put forth several requests, including an official boycott of Israeli products, provision of food and medical aid to Palestinians, particularly those affected by Israel's military aggression in Gaza. A key demand was for the Pakistani government to designate Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu as a terrorist.[6]
Resolution
editThe week-long protest concluded after successful talks between the TLP and the Federal Government.[7][8] The government agreed to send over 1,000 tons of food and other relief supplies to Gaza before July 31.[9][10] The government also pledged to continue and enhance its efforts to assist the people of Palestine.[11]
