The Taliban government has issued a strong response to the alleged violence by the Government of Pakistan against Tehreek-e-Labbaik (TLP) protesters.
According to a statement of Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, protests were initiated by the Tehreek-e-Labbaik party in Pakistan, with the objective of bringing their demonstration to Islamabad and conducting a lawful protest in accordance with the country’s legal framework.
“However, the Pakistani military responded with direct gunfire and violent attacks on the protestors, resulting in significant casualties and financial losses among the civilian population,” the statement added.
“We are profoundly saddened and deeply affected by such violence and the tragic loss of life inflicted upon innocent civilians,” it further said.
Taliban extended their condolences to the families of the deceased and to the entire nation of Pakistan, wishing a swift recovery to those who have been wounded.
Taliban urged the Pakistani government and its ruling authorities to cease any further acts of violence against their people and to pursue resolution through dialogue and mutual understanding.
