The TLP claims its supporters faced excessive force, while the government asserts that the march was unauthorized and that security measures were essential to maintain order.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\tBackground & Context<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
The slogan\u00a0\u201cLabbaik Ya Aqsa\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0symbolizes solidarity with\u00a0Palestine<\/strong>\u00a0and opposition to aggression against Muslims.
In Pakistan, Gaza-related protests often gain widespread political and public attention, particularly during heightened conflict in the Middle East.
The current movement continues TLP\u2019s pattern of activism aimed at pressuring the government and amplifying public sentiment for Palestine.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\tChronology of Recent Events<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
