The Businessman and Profession Forum (BPF) on Friday urged the federal government to accept the demands of protestors of Islamabad and dismiss the federal law minister and others for removal of Khatam-e-Nabuwat sections from the Election Act 2017.
While, addressing a press conference at the Karachi Press Club, representatives of Businessman Profession Forum Haji Muhammad Rafique Pardesi, Mohsin Sheikhani, Sardar Rahim, Tariq Polani and others said that government should immediately initiate the dialog process with the leaders of Tehrik-e-Labaik Pakistan to end the uncertainty.
They said that TLP leaders and workers are protesting at Faizabad Rawalpindi for the last 12 days for their demands; however the government is not taking to them seriously and instead of dialogs trying to disperse them forcefully.
