Pakistan formed a committee to identify companies to boycott for supporting Israel in its offensive on Gaza, Anadolu Agency reports.
“A committee has also been constituted to identify such companies and products in Pakistan that may be directly or indirectly abetting Israel or forces, committing war crimes against Palestinians,” said Rana Sanaullah, adviser on political affairs to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
The move came after a deal between the government and a far-right political party called Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP).
TLP held a rally and sit-in in the city of Rawalpindi near the capital Islamabad, which ended late on Friday after the agreement was announced.
The accord demands authorities provide further humanitarian assistance for Palestinians and ban all products of companies supporting Israel.
