Despite a blatant warning by Prime Minister Imran Khan to protesters, cautioning them against taking law into their hands, the State still seems to be standing idle as grip of Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) has stiffened in Rawalpindi Division, adjacent to the Federal Capital.
The local correspondents told the Dispatch News Desk (DND) news agency that nothing yet seems to be happening on the part of the administration as all main roads and expressways have consecutively been under siege by TLP protesters since yesterday.
