Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said all obstacles on the roads in Lahore have been cleared except one and hopefully it will also be cleared soon. He said the activists of TLP have returned and Punjab government successfully held talks to resolve the issues.
At least eleven policemen including a deputy superintendent of police were apparently taken hostage and tortured by workers of TLP in Lahore on Sunday.
According to the Punjab Police, the incident happened after workers belonging to the TLP attacked the Nawankot police station early in the morning.
