It’s the responsibility of the government to check those miscreants.Our workers are not involved in any activity to harm our own country— Khadim Hussain Rizvi (@KhadimRizviReal) November 1, 2018
The Labbaik chief called on the federal government to put a check on the miscreants. “It’s the responsibility of the government to check those miscreants,” he said. “Our workers are not involved in any activity to harm our own country.”
Rizvi claimed that none of his workers is indulged in spreading violence in the country.
The far-right religious cleric has made it clear that TLP’s countrywide protests will not end until he gives the call.
Earlier, he commented on the Supreme Court’s verdict to acquit Aasiya Bibi in the blasphemy case. “Had Asia been punished under 295 C, the Islamophobes and neo-imperialists would have been silenced once for all. Unfortunately, government has not shown courage to displease secular-capitalist nexus,” he said.

While PM Imran Khan had warned of stern action against those challenging the state’s writ, State Minister for Interior Shehryar Afridi said Thursday the government was in talks with the religio-political parties protesting against Aasiya Bibi’s acquittal.
