LAHORE:An anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Saturday extended the remand of Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) chief Khadim Hussain Rizvi and other accused till March 16. During the three-day protests, the TLP leadership urged supporters to ‘kill the judges and rebel against the generals’. After the Faizabad sit-in, the TLP staged a three-day long protest following the acquittal of Aasia Bibi by the Supreme Court. This makes it twice the federation capitulating to Rizvi’s demands, giving him prominence in the religious sphere. The party’s count was only 300,000 votes less than its heavyweight rival Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA), an old five-party alliance.
