PM Imran Khan calls National Security Committee meeting on Friday

Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry took to Twitter and announced, “In view of the current situation due to the unlawful activities of the banned party [Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan’s (TLP)], Prime Minister Imran Khan will convene a meeting of the National Security Committee tomorrow, Friday.

Inspector General of Punjab Police (IGP) Rao Sardar Ali on Wednesday called the situation alarming, saying it was a matter of serious concern that the violent protesters of the banned TLP were armed with weapons and opened straight fire on police.
