Talks Stall as TLP Halts at Muridke, Threatens to Resume Islamabad March

Stalled contacts leave a tense pause before a possible renewed push toward the capital.

Overview

  • TLP leaders kept thousands encamped around Muridke and Sadhoke for a second day, insisting on a written accord that recognises their Gaza solidarity march and frees detained workers.
  • Backchannel outreach involving religious and political intermediaries, including Maulana Fazlur Rehman, has not produced a breakthrough, and the group warns it will move on without one.
  • Authorities kept Islamabad and Rawalpindi on high alert with blocked entry routes and suspended services, though sections of the M-1, M-2, M-3 and M-11 and some mobile data were reopened Sunday.
  • Lahore police report at least 112 injured officers, some missing personnel, and alleged hostage-taking and vandalism; more than 100 detainees were remanded by a counter-terrorism court.
  • TLP claims that over two dozen supporters were killed and hundreds injured have not been independently verified, and police say no live ammunition was used.
