Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) supporters continued their march towards Islamabad on Saturday to protest the US-brokered Gaza ceasefire, triggering violent clashes, travel chaos, and communication disruptions across Punjab and the twin cities. TLP activists, who began their demonstrations in Lahore on Thursday, claim to be marching in solidarity with Palestinians. However, their rally has turned violent, with police reporting at least 112 officers injured and extensive property damage in Lahore’s Shahdara area. The TLP alleges that over 10 of its members have been killed in confrontations with law enforcement. Police officials say the group vandalized government property, attacked officers, and even abducted some personnel. DIG Operations Lahore, Faisal Kamran, confirmed that police stations were attacked and public property damaged. He noted that the police had “cleared them from Lahore” but warned that the state would act firmly if TLP continued to disrupt public life. Kamran added that authorities were still open to dialogue if the party ceased violent actions. The Punjab Police strongly criticized TLP’s motives, calling the march “hypocritical” and questioning why the group was spreading chaos when peace had been restored in Gaza. The police accused TLP of “misleading the public in the name of religion” and warned that anyone taking the law into their own hands would face strict action. Meanwhile, residents of Islamabad and Rawalpindi are bearing the brunt of the unrest. Heavy traffic jams, blocked roads, and suspended mobile networks have paralyzed daily activities. Major routes such as GT Road, Faizabad, and Chakri have been sealed with shipping containers to prevent TLP’s entry into the federal capital. The Islamabad Police confirmed that while some roads are partially open, heavy vehicle entry remains restricted until further notice. Citizens expressed frustration over long commutes and disrupted communication services. Many reported internet shutdowns lasting hours, affecting work and studies. Authorities have also closed interchanges connecting Rawalpindi to major highways, worsening the gridlock. The TLP insists its protest is peaceful and solely intended to express solidarity with Gaza, but officials maintain that the group’s actions contradict that claim. Deputy Interior Minister Talal Chaudhry reaffirmed that “radical activities” would not be tolerated in Islamabad. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif welcomed the Gaza ceasefire, calling it a “historic opportunity for lasting peace,” while urging all Pakistanis to support peace efforts responsibly.
