TahreekeLabaik

Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) is a religio-political party in Pakistan, known for its strong stance on blasphemy laws. The party was founded in 2015 by Khadim Hussain Rizvi, who served as its leader until his death in 2020. TLP advocates for the strict enforcement of Pakistan's blasphemy laws, which criminalize speech or actions deemed insulting to Islam and the Prophet Muhammad.

The party gained prominence through its protests and demonstrations, often drawing large crowds. Its activism has frequently centered on demands for the execution of individuals accused of blasphemy and the expulsion of foreign diplomats perceived to have insulted Islam. TLP's political platform also includes a broader conservative Islamic agenda.

TLP has participated in general elections in Pakistan but has not secured significant electoral success. Despite this, the party wields considerable influence through its ability to mobilize public support and disrupt urban life with its protests. Its activities have often led to tense standoffs with the Pakistani government, resulting in negotiations and sometimes violence. The party's ideology is deeply rooted in Barelvi Islam, a Sunni Sufi tradition prevalent in South Asia.
