TLP March: one injured in shooting shifted to hospital, Edhi Foundation

Baaghi TV: Banned Tehreek-e-Labbaik march, one injured in shooting, shifted to hospital, Edhi Foundation.

According to Baaghi TV reports, Tehreek-e-Labbaik march has reached Kala Shah Kaku, Ferozwala.

There are 25 Edhi ambulances with the TLP march. Younis Bhatti, a member of the Edhi Foundation Information Bureau, told Baaghi TV in an exclusive interview that “we are carrying the injured to the stage container and taking them to the hospital. The condition of about 15 injured people was critical and they were shifted to the main container.”

When Baaghi TV asked the Edhi Foundation why the injured were not being shifted to the hospital, Younis Bhatti replied that no one is allowed to be transferred to the hospital. He further said that we have shifted only one injured person to Mayo Hospital who was shot. His condition was very serious so he was taken to the hospital. 

Police in Kala Shah Kaku have once again started shelling on the protestors.  Thousands of Tehreek-e-Labbaik members are participating in the march. Police have cordoned off the road with containers. Police fired tear gas at the protestors. Shells are being fired, Tehreek-e-Labbaik activists are chanting the same slogans and throwing the same shells at the police again.

Tehreek-e-Lubaik marched to Azadi Chowk at night, resumed in the morning, crossed the Ravi Bridge near Shahdara and clashed with police again, killing two more Labbaik activists, according to reports. Six activists of Tehreek-e-Labeek have been killed since yesterday while two policemen were killed last night. Heavy police shelling near Shahdara also injured about 15 Labeek workers who were shifted to a container for medical treatment. When Baaghi TV asked Younis Bhatti, he said the injured were not taken to the hospital because they feared that the police might arrest the TLP members there. The Central Council of Tehreek-e-Labbaik has said that we will go to Islamabad in any case and now all the talks will be held in Islamabad. Before that we will not have any talks with the government.

Baaghi TV reporter Faaiz Chughtai, who has been covering the protests of Tehreek-e-Labaik for the past several days, informed that Imamia Colony has been blocked with containers. Thousands of people are present in March, there is a heavy contingent of police and Rangers, there is also a large number of Rangers in Rana Town as the next possible clash may take place in Rana Town. So far the TLP members have removed all obstacles put up by the government and moved forward. Now the participants of TLP march are moving towards Kala Shah Kaku while the police continues to grow an aggressive attitude.

Tehreek-e-Labeek’s Shura says we will take the body to Islamabad and sit there. Thousands of us have been severely injured, many have been shot, we are the guardians of the country and everything of the country, now only the respected leader Allama Hafiz Saad Hussain Rizvi will negotiate,

On the other hand, the spokesman of the banned TLP, Sajid Saifi, said that the worst use of force was made by the police. There are dozens of TLP march participants lying injured from MAO college to Dataa Darbar, a large number of people in the Namoos-e-Risalat march have also been injuried gravely while the police and Rangers are not even allowing to move the injured to the hospital. The claims of police officers embracing martyrdom while being run off by TLP vehicles is also absurd. The protesters did not have vehicles, it is all police propaganda. The police are attributing deaths of its personnel to our processions violence while it is actually a result of their own conflict.

Earlier, the first round of talks between the banned Tehreek-e-Labaik and the Punjab government ended in failure. According to Baaghi TV, TLP demanded that the negotiating committee of the Punjab government agree to the release of arrested TLP members, uplift the ban on TLP and terminate French ambassador’s entry into Pakistan. To this the negotiating committee of the Punjab government only agreed upon releasing members in the Punjab district while both the other matters are under the Federal Government’s authority. Thus TLP aims to go as far as Islamabad as they demand a complete negotiation with the Federal Government.

Earlier, when the march started last night, the police reached MAO College via Samanabad Chauburji. The police shelled the place resulting in the deaths of two members of Tehreek-e-Labaik while two policemen were also killed. According to the report, one of the TLP participants tried to climb the police containers and was arrested by the police.

On the other hand, it has been decided to seal Lahore completely from all sides. According to informed sources, it has also been decided to impose curfew in different areas in Lahore today. A major operation is being prepared against Tehreek-e-Labaik. It has also been decided to close Lahore’s grade station, during which power will be cut off across Lahore. Phone service in most areas will remain off. It has also been decided to suspend cable across Lahore.

Tehreek-e-Labaik has demanded the government to fulfill the agreement reached with us, expel the French ambassador and release Hafiz Saad Rizvi, the head of Labaik, if the government gives Tehreek-e-Lubaik Pakistan its constitutional right. Even if we try to stop its use, the government itself will be responsible for the serious situation in the country.

It is to be noted that Tehreek-e-Labaik was banned by the government. Hafiz Saad Rizvi, son of Allama Khadim Hussain Rizvi, was arrested on April 12 from Scheme Mor Chowk, Lahore. Police protested against Hafiz Saad Rizvi on April 16. Detained to stop because his talks with the government had failed and the movement to deport the French ambassador refused to back down.

After the arrest of Saad Rizvi, there was a commotion all over the country and the government banned Tehreek-e-Libek. Tehreek-e-Labeek has filed an appeal against the ban on which the government will decide. Hafiz Saad is still in jail and his party is prohibited.
