Islamabad: The first phase of the Gaza peace proposal presented by US President Donald Trump has been implemented, and Hamas has also accepted it. However, the implementation of this plan, seen as an attempt to bring peace to Gaza, appears to be causing widespread unrest in Pakistan. Shahbaz Sharif's government and Army Chief General Asim Munir have supported Trump's peace proposal, but this has angered the clerics in Pakistan. "Shahbaz and Munir have betrayed Muslims." Pakistan's religious leaders, especially the clerics, are accusing Shahbaz Sharif and General Asim Munir of betraying Muslims. They say they are ignoring the Palestinian struggle and moving towards recognizing Israel. Amid this protest, Tehreek-e-Labbaik (TLP) leader Maulana Saad Rizvi has threatened to surround the US Embassy in Islamabad, further escalating tensions in Pakistan. Violence between police and TLP activists in Lahore In Lahore, Pakistan's Punjab province, Shahbaz Sharif's police attacked the headquarters of the Tehreek-e-Labbaik (Tehreek-e-Labbaik). Police opened fire on TLP activists preparing to march to Islamabad in the dark of night. When protesters resisted, the police retreated. Clashes escalated when TLP supporters retaliated, forcing them to retreat to Lahore's Rahmat Ali Mosque. Pakistani clerics are deeply angry with Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and General Asim Munir. Reports of violent protests at Rahmat Ali Mosque TLP activists say that Shahbaz Sharif and General Asim Munir have played with the sentiments of Pakistani Muslims by accepting Trump's proposal. They allege that this peace agreement will destroy Palestine and that Pakistan's Muslim community has the right to speak out against this deception. Several people were reportedly injured and some were killed following clashes between protesters and police at the Rahmat Ali Mosque in Lahore. Police have not disclosed the death toll. TLP supporters accused the police of ignoring Pakistan's historical support for Palestine and attempting to recognize Israel. Protesters also said they were being shot while they were simply speaking out in support of Palestine. Three TLP activists were reportedly killed in the violence, though police have not disclosed the death toll. Expressing anger, TLP supporters said they would surround the US Embassy in Islamabad and continue their opposition to the peace process. Pakistan has nominated Donald Trump for the Nobel Prize. Pakistan's people are shocked by their government's stance. Pakistan's citizens and religious leaders are deeply shocked by how their country's government has changed its stance in favor of Israel. In protest, the TLP is issuing aggressive statements and is talking about besieging the US Embassy in Islamabad on the coming Friday. A wave of anger is currently being felt on the streets of Pakistan. TLP leaders and their supporters seem unwilling to stop the protests against Shahbaz Sharif and Asim Munir, and are increasingly becoming violent. ...So, is this why Shahbaz and Munir surrendered to Trump? People in Pakistan are also enraged because they believe that General Munir and Shahbaz Sharif have completely surrendered to Trump to save their power. They feel that Pakistan, which has always supported Palestine, has now turned back to appease Trump. On the other hand, Trump is touting the Israel-Hamas peace agreement as his greatest achievement and is hoping for the Nobel Peace Prize. Pakistani leaders even nominated him, but Trump suspects that the committee will make some excuse and deny him the award.
