LAHORE: The presence of Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) supporters at the Muslim Mosque Lohari Gate before the start of the PML-N rally on Friday gave a shudder to some of its senior leaders.

The rally was due to be taken out after Friday prayers and Azad Kashmir Prime Minister Raja Farooq Haider, his cabinet member Mushtaq Minhas and former minister Tallal Chaudhry were present there for offering the prayers.

When the prayer ended, some TLP supporters came close to them and started raising religious slogans, causing unrest among the PML-N leaders.

In the past, some of its leaders had come under attack of the TLP activists. However, the PML-N leaders soon left to join the rally.
