Pakistan army killed more than 700 innocent people in Pakistan Punjab city Mureedkay because they don't want any protest against Israel and America
Who the hell is government teasing peaceful pro Palestinian protestors. They are standing up for Palestine but our Government is being hard on them and not letting them do protest!
TLP is a far-right extremist group, known for the killing of minorities, like the burning of Churches in Jaranwala, mob lynching, and burning alive people in the name of blasphemy.
Can the condemning of killing of TLP members on protest and PTI members and victims of this horrific incident and others not be done together!? Killing of all civilians/party workers should be condemned!

What the people want
Government of Pakistan: Reconsider your measures against protesters and prioritize dialogue over force. The people's voices for justice and autonomy must be respected.
Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP): Reflect on the impact of your actions and the broader implications for societal harmony. Extremism must be confronted through peaceful means.
Pakistan Army: Your duty is to protect the citizens, not silence them. Excessive force only deepens divides and breeds mistrust.
