The 2024 Faizabad sit-in was a week long protest organized by the Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) in Faizabad. The demonstration was a response to the Israel–Hamas war, with demands for a government-led boycott of Israeli goods and provision of aid.[1][2][3]
Background
[edit]The protest sit-in at Faizabad Interchange was initiated by the TLP under the leadership of Saad Hussain Rizvi. The sit-in followed a protest march that began at Liaquat Bagh in Rawalpindi.[4] The march drew participants from various parts of the Rawalpindi Division.[5]
Demands
[edit]The TLP put forth several demands, including an official boycott of Israeli goods, provision of food and medical aid to Palestinians, particularly those affected by Israel’s military aggression in Gaza. A key demand was for the Pakistani government to label Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu as a “terrorist”.[6]
Resolution
[edit]The week-long protest concluded after successful talks between the TLP and the Federal Government.[7][8] The government agreed to send over 1,000 tons of food and other relief supplies to Gaza before July 31.[9][10] The government also pledged to continue and enhance its efforts to assist the Muslims of Palestine.[11]
