The government was forced to accept Tehreek-e-Labbaik’s demands after an operation to break up the sit-in went awry and sparked violent protests across the country.

Jami on item numbers: No difference between directors and pimps if they encourage it
In the entire hullabaloo, filmmaker Jami has decided to shift his family abroad, saying “my kids will not see this mess” as be it the army, the government or Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan, all are involved to “burn us all down”.
“…Army GOvt IK they all in it - to burn us all down. My kids will not see this mess. Enough of darkness and waste of life. Eat ur faith,” he tweeted on Monday.

Whereas some users requested the filmmaker not to lose hope, others agreed with him as it was “better to look after your kids’ future”.
Bye twitter.
