In the interrogation, he said, Iqbal religion insulting. He has to die. The party leader Khadim Hussein Rizvi condemned the attack, but his team is not responsible for the incident. All of the mainstream political parties condemned the attack.
    But Imran Khan provoked religious debate in the election speech.

    Tehrik-i-Labaiyyke registered team. But there are no organizations registered. Saeed's Islamic charity appealed to the Pakistan Election Commission to form a new political party named Milli Muslim League. But this year the application was dismissed. However, after the group, Allahu Akbar registered the names of candidates for a group named Tehrik. Saeed's picture is also adorned by the party's poster.

    Another group of extremists, Ahl al Sunnat Wal Jamaat (ASWG), has drummed dozens of candidates in different names.
