The Shuhada Foundation, which manages the media affairs of Lal Masjid, is considering the option of supporting the upcoming protest by Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf in Islamabad, said a statement released by the foundation on Monday.
A special meeting has been convened in the coming days to discuss the possibility of collaboration with PTI, said the spokesperson for the Shuhada Foundation.
Nawaz government has become a threat to state institutions, in such scenario it has become a duty to get rid of the Nawaz-led government, read the statement.
“Therefore, we are considering extending conditional support to the PTI sit-in in the federal capital next month,” the spokesperson was quoted as saying.
PTI chairman Imran Khan has called on party workers to lay siege to Islamabad on November 2, telling them to stay put until Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif resigns or presents himself for accountability in the backdrop of the Panama Papers leaks.
This, Imran said, would be his final showdown with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and members of his family implicated in the Panama Papers scandal, adding that there would be no follow-up rallies.

@Malik USA - let's not use proverbial expressions. Lal Mosque or anyone else, they all are Pakistani citizens and democracy requires or be hooves all to stand up to the chosen leaders if there are allegations about money laundering or mismanagement.
Panama is an international issue that exposed all these self serving leaders.

Imran Khan should explicitly decline Maulana Abdul Aziz's support because he refused to condemn the APS massacre and said he could not call the students who were killed ‘martyrs’.

This Lal Masjid is turning into something real scary. The government should consider a long term solution for it. Maybe hand it over to Islamic University as a campus site or something.

Pervez Musharraf should not be further dragged on Lal Mas jid and similar cases any more. He is really helping Pakistan through bold interviews on Indian TV channels. Buck up Musharraf: Your reply to India is very logical and from your heart as you very rightly say: SUB SE PEHLAY PAKISTAN

As noble as the cause might be, an endorsement from Lal masjid is an endorsement of Taliban, an endorsement of terrorists, an endorsement of murderers.
