LAHORE: Protesters of a religious group ended their seven-day-long sit-in on Lahore's Mall Road late Friday, after they reached an agreement with the Punjab government.

Holding a press conference here, Ashraf Asif Jalali thanked participants for staging the sit-in for seven consecutive days following the agreement.

He said the names of those responsible for the change in the amendment to the Finality of Prophethood declaration for electoral candidates, in the Elections Act 2017, will be made public by December 20.

Jalali also claimed the government has provided them a list of martyrs, wounded and arrested protesters.

He further said that a committee will be formed with regard to the resignation of Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah, warning, "If the agreement isn't acted upon in a month's time, then we will again take to streets."
