The2024 Faizabad sit-in was a week-long protest organized by theTehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) inFaizabad. The demonstration was a response to thewar crimes committed by Israel in Palestine, with requests for a government-led boycott of Israeli products and provision of aid.[1][2][3]
The protest sit-in atFaizabad Interchange was initiated by the TLP under the leadership ofSaad Hussain Rizvi. The sit-in followed a protest march that began atLiaquat Bagh inRawalpindi.[4] The march drew participants from various parts of theRawalpindi Division.[5]
The TLP put forth several requests, including an official boycott of Israeli products, provision of food and medical aid to Palestinians, particularly those affected byIsrael's military aggression in Gaza. A key demand was for the Pakistani government to designate Israeli PMBenjamin Netanyahu as a terrorist.[6]
The week-long protest concluded after successful talks between the TLP and the Federal Government.[7][8] The government agreed to send over 1,000 tons of food and other relief supplies to Gaza before 31 July.[9][10] The government also pledged to continue and enhance its efforts to assist the people of Palestine.[11]
