The protest by a religio-political group over the issue of an amendment to the Khatam-e-Nabuwwat law
ISLAMABAD: The protest by a religio-political group over the issue of an amendment to the Khatam-e-Nabuwwat law, which has already been reversed, has entered its seventh day. Over a thousand protesters have blocked the Faizabad interchange in the federal capital which connects the city to other important cities and roadways. As clearly the demands made by the protesters are baseless, the reluctance on the part of the authorities to take decisive action against the blockade is beyond comprehension. The government should begin negotiations with the demonstrators to make them terminate their protest peacefully.
