Violent Clashes in Lahore
A protest against Israel turned violent in Lahore, resulting in the deaths of at least 4 people, including 1 police officer and 3 protesters, as members of the far-Right Islamist party Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) clashed with security personnel.
Defence Minister Khawaja Asif condemned the TLP protest, calling it an "insult to religion". The clashes occurred while Pakistan PM Sharif was in Egypt to attend the signing of the Trump-brokered Gaza peace plan.
- The TLP had called for the march ahead of US President Donald Trump's announcement of a ceasefire deal to end the Gaza war.
- The march started on Friday, with TLP members vowing to stage a pro-Palestinian demonstration outside the US embassy.
The TLP's often violent street protests have troubled multiple Pakistani governments.
The clashes occurred during the TLP's march from Lahore to Islamabad, nearly 400 km away, along the Grand Trunk Road.
