Addressing a press conference in Lahore, Azma said religious parties have long been part of Pakistan\u2019s political process, but imposing one\u2019s ideology in the name of religion is unacceptable. \u201cThere is no justification for the protest held by a religious party. A trend of extremism has developed in the country where anyone can block roads to press their demands,\u201d she added. She said the recent protest by the religious group turned violent, and it was not the first time this group had done so. The protest was called in the name of Gaza even though a ceasefire had already been reached. She added that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir played a significant role in achieving that Gaza ceasefire. Bokhari said the state and government decided that Pakistan could not afford such violent protests. Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz is launching new projects daily to ease public life, such as distributing farmer cards and constructing 90,000 houses. She added that those who challenge the writ of the state are not friends of religion, Punjab, or Pakistan. \u201cYou cannot kill someone just by accusing them; the Holy Prophet (PBUH) never taught such things,\u201d she said, adding that some people misuse religion to amass huge wealth and properties. Bokhari dismissed claims that the government did not hold talks with the group, saying the negotiations had nothing to do with Gaza or Palestine but were focused on their personal interests. She further said that even today, the group had called for protests after Friday prayers, but the public and traders wisely rejected the call. \u201cAll markets in Punjab are open, and no one will be allowed to shut down the entire country like this,\u201d she asserted. Bokhari also questioned, \u201cWhat was the fault of the Punjab Police inspector who was martyred?\u201d She revealed that police were fired upon from rooftops, the inspector was hit by 20 to 26 bullets, 1,648 policemen were injured, and more than 50 are now permanently disabled. Ninety-seven police vehicles were destroyed, and two were completely burned \u2014 \u201cIs this what they call a peaceful protest?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong> <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dunyanews.tv\/en\/Pakistan\/912463-tlps-offices-mosques-seminaries-sealed-in-islamabad\"><u><strong>\u00a0TLP&#8217;s offices, mosques, seminaries sealed in Islamabad<\/strong><\/u><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, the Islamabad district administration launched a massive crackdown against Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) and sealed its offices, mosques, and seminaries in the federal capital following recent violent protests by the party, Dunya News reported.
