Islamabad [Pakistan], May 24 (ANI): Although religion has yet to play a dominant role in Pakistani politics, observers note that the country s current political structure may be changing with the rapid rise of the proscribed radical group - Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP).
In April, anti-France protests broke out in Pakistan where the supporters of now banned TLP took to the streets to protests against France over caricatures of Prophet Muhammad. The protests soon turned violent and exposed the grim security situation in Pakistan.
During the violent protests, hundreds of protesters and police personnel were injured and thousands of TLP activists and supporters were arrested and booked for attacking law enforcement personnel and blocking main roads and highways.
