Pakistan government urges hard-line party to call off protest amid fighting on Afghan border 

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s government on Sunday urged the religious-political Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) party to call off or postpone its protest march toward Islamabad, saying the country needed national unity as its military confronted heightened security challenges along the Afghan border. The march, which began in the eastern city of Lahore earlier this week, has advanced to the town of Muridke, about 33 kilometers away, as TLP supporters vow to continue toward the capital. The group says it plans to stage a demonstration outside the US embassy to express solidarity with Palestinians.
