TLP Violence: Bilawal Bhutto Asks PM Imran “To Clean His Mess Or Go Home”

Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto has blamed Prime Minister Imran Khan for the disturbed law and order situation in the country following the banned Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) protests.

Bilawal Bhutto, in his tweet, asked the Prime Minister to fix the mess created by himself or “he should go home”.

“Agreement wasn’t brought to NA, Govt took action on streets, then banned, people killed, over 500 policemen injured, closed internet, PM didn’t make a statement in NA, didn’t take NA into confidence at any stage. Now PTI wants to hide behind NA. It’s your mess PM, clean up or go home,” he wrote.

The PPP leader’s response came a few hours after Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed said the government would present a resolution in the National Assembly to expel the French envoy and withdraw cases against members of the outlawed TLP.

Bilawal also criticized the premier for not bringing the issue to the National Assembly in the first place.

Government bans TLP after violent clashes across Pakistan

Four police officers were martyred and over 600 were injured in clashes all over Pakistan last week.

The government said it had arrested Saad Rizvi as talks between both sides broke down after it emerged the religiopolitical party was planning on marching to Islamabad to hold a sit-in protest.

The TLP has demanded the expulsion of the French ambassador from Pakistan over French President Emmanuel Macron’s support for blasphemous sketches of the Holy Prophet (PBUH).

The interior ministry then moved to ban the TLP under the anti-terrorism law last week.

Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed had said the decision was taken at the Punjab government’s request.
