Former ticket holders from south Punjab announce disassociation from TLP

MULTAN/LAHORE: Former ticket holders of the proscribed Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) from Multan and South Punjab announced the other day that they are parting ways with the banned outfit, declaring they no longer have any association with the group.

Addressing a press conference at the Multan Press Club, the former candidates stated that the long march organized by the proscribed TLP only served the interests of “enemy forces.” They affirmed their unwavering loyalty to Pakistan and its institutions.

“Our life and death are with Pakistan. The Pakistan Army defeated India in the recent war. Our forefathers sacrificed for this country. We all are announcing our separation from the proscribed TLP,” they said collectively.

The former ticket holders asserted that the banned group had “no justification” for calling a protest, adding that such actions were detrimental to the country’s stability, especially when Pakistan faces multiple external challenges.

“TLP had no grounds to protest in the name of Palestine,” one speaker remarked. “When Palestinians themselves were satisfied with the agreement, giving a protest call here was unjustified. Such agitation under these circumstances was inappropriate.”

They reiterated that Pakistan was created in the name of the Kalima and that the nation would continue to thwart the designs of hostile elements. “Pakistan will endure till the end of time, and no one can cast an evil eye on it,” they declared.

Muhammad Hussain Babar emphasized that their decision to dissociate from the proscribed organization was made voluntarily and without any external pressure. Meanwhile, Rao Arif Sajjad noted that Pakistan could not afford unrest and must focus on unity and progress.

The former ticket holders concluded by reaffirming that the banned TLP’s long march had harmed the country’s interests and reiterated their complete support for the state and its institutions.
