The Tehreek-i-Labbaik Ya Rasool Allah (TLY) has decided to support its sectarian brethren in the constituencies where its candidates are not contesting and the effort is aimed at avoiding division of ‘religious votes’, says Ashraf Asif Jalali, chief of the Tehreek.

Although the TLY has fielded 102 candidates throughout the country, it will support the candidates of the Sunni sect so that religious vote bank could be saved from the secular forces. —Ashraf Asif Jalali

About prospects of mutual support with the splinter group -- the Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan, headed by Khadim Hussain Rizvi, Jalali said these things would be sorted out after the elections.
