Amid US troop withdrawal from Afghanistan, TLP emerging as next big global terrorist threat: Report ANI | Updated: May 21, 2021 22:46 IST
Islamabad [Pakistan], May 21 (ANI): Amid the US troop withdrawal from Afghanistan, Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) has emerged as a potential next big terrorist threat to the world after the Taliban.
The past years of US occupation of Afghanistan, as well as various geopolitical changes, may mean that Pakistani intelligence and army may have to find another proxy to achieve multiple objectives such as keep the Taliban in check in Afghanistan and to continue terrorist activities while maintaining an internationally clean image to receive aid from multilateral and bilateral donors in the west, which effectively keep its economy alive, writes Vas Shenoy for Inside Over

Violent protests by the now-banned Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan once again put the police in the direct line of attack, resulting in hundreds of casualties in the service. Police complain that their concerns fall on deaf ears, while they are often castigated for their brutality. Is the issue simply one of reforming the police?
The protests began on Sunday, April 11, intensifying the following day when the police were ordered to arrest Saad Rizvi, leader of the far-right religio-political group Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan [TLP].
Major roads and highways across the country were blocked, forcing people to observe a lockdown far more stringent than any recent government-imposed Covid-19 lockdown. As markets remained shuttered and people stayed at home, clashes between the police and protesters intensified outside.

ising Islamophobia in many countries in the western world disrespects the sentiments of 1.8 billion Muslims around the world. In a time when the fervor for free speech collides with the emotions of Muslims, the opportunists among whom often resort to violence creating national security threat and a diplomatic crisis. Recently, for example, TLP - Tehreek Labaik Ya Rasool Allah – a fringe religious extremist party in Pakistan recently brought the government of Prime Minister Imran Khan to its knees with the demand to expel the French Ambassador because of the publication of cartoons about the Prophet Muhammad in a French satirical weekly paper.
