Moreover, the government has agreed to the demand that no further cases would be registered against the TLP leaders, and their workers would also not be arrested. Pakistan Today learnt on Monday that Prime Minister Imran Khan had green-lighted to engage the TLP leaders. However, failure to negotiate would have given the police and the administration the authority to carry out an operation against the protesters. Police and administration officials have also consulted with the Rawalpindi administration, which had also been given the authority to conduct a full operation if the talks failed. We are holding talks with protesters at Faizabad.
