ISLAMABAD, 20 April, 2021 (TON): On Tuesday, Pakistan's government will seek a vote in parliament to expel the French ambassador after violent anti-France protests by Tehrik-e-Labaik Pakistan (TLP), the interior minister Sheikh Rasheed said.

The minister said in a recorded statement, "After long negotiations with TLP, this has been agreed that we will table a resolution in parliament today to expel French ambassador."

However, the expulsion of the French ambassador is one of the main four demands of a radical Tehrik-e-Labaik Pakistan (TLP) group that has been protesting for over a week over blasphemous act.

As per the reports, Pakistan opened talks with the group on Monday.
