Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar on Friday announced that the provincial government had decided to form a committee to negotiate with the proscribed Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP).

The announcement came in the backdrop of staged protests by the banned outfit to demand the release of their leader Saad Rizvi.
Buzdar made the announcement regarding the government's decision to hold talks with the banned outfit on Twitter.
"We have formed a committee, consisting of senior members of the Punjab Cabinet Raja Basharat and Chaudhry Zaheeruddin to negotiate with the [banned] Tehreek-e-Labbaik," Buzdar wrote.
تحریک لبیک سے مذاکرات کے لیے ہم نے پنجاب کابینہ کے سینئر اراکین راجہ بشارت صاحب اور چوہدری ظہیر الدین صاحب پر مشتمل کمیٹی تشکیل دی ہے
