Officials confirmed that at least 117 workers had been taken into custody from various parts of the city.<\/p>\n<p>Read More: Section 144 imposed in Rawalpindi ahead of TLP rally<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter calls for protests in Islamabad on the Gaza issue, action was taken across all provinces,\u201d Chaudhry said. \u201cThose arrested were not found with pamphlets, but with weapons and materials meant for police attacks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said authorities had recovered spiked sticks, chemicals, glass pellets, shell guns, tear gas shells, and protective masks from TLP leaders. \u201cNow that peace has been established in Palestine, they seem upset and want to create disorder under the guise of protests,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The minister stressed that the federal government allows peaceful demonstrations strictly within the framework of standard operating procedures (SOPs).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor instance, Jamaat-e-Islami held a permitted event near Faisal Mosque today while fully complying with SOPs. Has TLP even sought permission or assured adherence to those SOPs?\u201d he questioned.<\/p>\n<p>Chaudhry criticised the group\u2019s leadership for \u201cinflammatory speeches and provocative behaviour,\u201d questioning why they appeared to oppose peace for Palestinians. \u201cJust as Palestinians desire peace, so does Pakistan,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n<p>Also Read: Hamas, Israel sign ceasefire deal, rekindling hopes for peace in Gaza<\/p>\n<p>He reiterated that those detained in Punjab and Islamabad possessed ammunition, chemicals, tear gas masks, and shell guns, items \u201cclearly intended to aid in violent confrontations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can confidently say that those arrested in Islamabad are senior TLP officials and workers,\u201d Chaudhry asserted, recalling that during earlier episodes of Indian aggression, the group had similarly attempted to divert public attention through disruptive marches.<\/p>\n<p>Vowing zero tolerance for extremism, he said Pakistan \u201cwill not allow any group to destabilise the country under political or religious pretences\u201d and promised legal action against those found guilty.<\/p>\n<p>Praising Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif\u2019s proactive approach to the Palestinian cause, the minister highlighted Pakistan\u2019s humanitarian and diplomatic contributions.<\/p>\n<p>Read: Heroic return: Mushtaq Ahmad lands at Islamabad airport<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPakistan has sent medicines, food aid, provided medical education to Palestinian children, and established temporary hospitals for the injured. No other country has done as much,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that Pakistan was among eight Muslim nations that engaged with US President Donald Trump to discuss a nearly 20-point peace agenda for Palestine. \u201cPakistan openly participated in these discussions and the first phase of the plan has already been accepted,\u201d Chaudhry noted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe people of Palestine want peace and a homeland\u2014not protests or empty slogans,\u201d he said, calling the Gaza ceasefire a \u201cvictory for the Muslim Ummah\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Chaudhry condemned TLP\u2019s planned demonstrations as \u201ca political stunt disguised as solidarity.\u201d \u201cFunds are being raised not for food or medicines, but to buy spiked sticks,\u201d he concluded.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Minister of State for Interior Talal Chaudhry accused the Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan of attempting to incite unrest under the pretext of demonstrating for Gaza, despite the recent announcement of a peace plan and ceasefire aligning with Palestinian demands.
