ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – The protesters of religious party, who are staging sit-in at Faizabad Interchange, have announced to not leave their places until the final decision from Tehreek-e-Labbaik Ya Rasool Allah (TLYR) leaders comes.
It seems that the activists are not ready to call-off the sit-in despite agreement between the government and TLYR that was signed after the resignation of Law Minister Zahid Hamid.
The protesters have reoccupied the crane and blocked the road with containers while they are also continuously making announcements from the stage.

On the other hand, protests are also being carried out in other parts of country including Karachi, Lahore, Gujranwala, Faisalabad, Multan and Khanewal. The TLYR workers are also chanting slogans against the government and burning the properties of the citizens.
Meanwhile, various sections of Motorway from Sheikhupura to Kalar Kahar, Faisalabad to Kalar Kahar and Peshawar to Islamabad have been reopened.

Roughly 2,000 protesters from the Tehreek-i-Labaik Ya Rasool Allah Pakistan group blocked the main highway used by thousands of commuters since November 6, causing hours-long traffic jams in Islamabad and Rawalpindi.
The federal government initiated talks with the protesters on several occasions during the last two weeks, but all went in vain. The protesters continuously demanded the resignation from Law Minister Zahid Hamid over the alleged exclusion of Khatm-e-Nabuwwat clause from the nomination papers to which he denies.
Both the parliament houses had restored the Khatm-e-Nabuwwat clause in the nomination papers in its original form through the Elections (Amendment) Bill 2017.
