A delegation of ulema met the proscribed organisation Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan’s (TLP) chief Saad Rizvi on Monday and urged him to end the protests taking place in the country, sources said.
The Punjab police had recently detained the proscribed organisation’s chief, following which he was shifted to Kot Lakhpat Jail.
The delegation, led by Sahibzada Hamid Raza, asked Saad Rizvi to issue a video message and request the protesters to end their Lahore sit-in as well as other demonstrations.
The sources said the talks between Rizvi and the delegation have been going on for 5 hours, while the team also had iftar with the banned TLP chief in jail.
According to sources, the scholars tried to persuade Saad Rizvi to resolve the issues amicably.
The delegation included Sahibzada Hamid Raza, Sarwat Ejaz Qadri, Mian Jalil Sharqpuri, and Sahibzada Abul Khair Zabir, among others.
