Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan(TLP) Strike Against France

Published:

Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) strike against France because the French Samuel Paty on October 16 by a Chechen Islamist militant enraged by his decision to display Charlie Hebdo’s infamous cartoon Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) in a class about freedom of speech. To persuade the Tehreek-e-Labbaik (TLP) Strike against France, the Government of Pakistan signed a deal with it. And it was agreeing to a boycott of French goods and pledging a parliamentary vote on expelling the French ambassador by April 20.

However, as the deadline drew nearer, Islamabad distanced itself from the TLP. And a stance reinforced by Rizvi’s arrest on April 12. During the ensuing clashes with police, more than 200 TLP activists were arrested. At least two police officers were killed, and 340 others were injured.

Saad Rizvi, the party’s leader, was detained on Monday, just hours after calling for a new march to demand the expulsion of the French ambassador. His arrest sparked days of rioting.

A day after, Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed declared the dissolution of Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) under Pakistan’s anti-terrorism law. The Pakistani government blocked social media. And also, instant messaging applications for several hours on Friday to try to prevent more violence.
