“They [murderers] will have to go to courts,” he added.
The premier noted during the meeting that the nation was united on the issue of Namoos-e-Risalat.
“Even though the purpose behind the TLP s protest was right, the manner in which it chose to act was inappropriate,” he added.
The prime minister stressed the need for a global solution to the issue of blasphemy.
He also congratulated Rashid for achieving success in the talks and directed him to continue working for peace in the country.
Earlier, Rashid announced that the government had agreed “after long negotiations with the TLP” to put a resolution before parliament on whether or not it should expel the French ambassador.

ISLAMABAD: The opposition members in the National Assembly came down hard on the government for imposing a media blackout over the issue of Tehrik-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) protests.
Former prime minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf, speaking on a point of order, said there had been a media blackout and rumours rife in the entire country, as nobody knew what was happening all around. “You are the most fascist government in history of the country despite your claims of giving freedom to the media,” he said.
Regretting absence of Prime Minister Imran Khan from the house proceedings, the PPP leader said the government was avoiding its responsibilities and it did not know how to handle the sensitive issues.
