ISLAMABAD: Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) held an election rally from Faizabad to Liaquat Bagh on Wednesday which was addressed by its emir, Hafiz Saad Hussain Rizvi.

“I do not make false promises; my affection and attachment to the cause of TLP was not marketable,” Hafiz Rizvi said, adding that, “people of Rawalpindi should trust me, I will not let my voters down”.

“Where did the slogan of honouring the vote go? Where did the slogan of prosperity and development go,” Hafiz Rizvi said, while posing his questions to the PML-N.

The PML-N had taken the same path that was adopted by the PTI in 2018, he added.

He said the slogan of TLP was ‘Labbaik’ (the Arabic term meaning we are present) and added that this slogan was echoing in the streets of the country and would be raised in the parliament too.

He later proceeded to Gujar Khan to address a public meeting.
