ROLE OF TLP IN POLITICS OF PAKISTAN

Abstract

The evolution and political activism of the Tehreek-e-Labaik Pakistan (TLP), a religio-political institution, from a protest movement to a political birthday celebration, while retaining its man or woman as a movement, are examined in this study. As a result, TLP features a hybrid structure in which the lines between movement and birthday celebration are blurred. TLP has pushed itself in Pakistan's political spiritual arena in recent years by defending the reasons of Khatam-e-Nabuwat (the finality of Muhammad's prophethood) and Namoos-e-Risalat (honour of the Prophet Muhammad). TLP, as a movement, uses rallies and agitation to affect the political agenda, while also using political processes to demand or obstruct policies deemed harmful to its non-secular activities. As it was a common course of action even before the emergence of this party that religion has always been used as a tool in the politics of Pakistan. So, TLP emerged as a result of 9/11 religion-political events in Pakistan and shifting patterns of country sponsorship towards spiritual groupings. TLP leader Khadim Hussain Rizvi's (late) framing of Brelvi's issues in opposition to his rival enterprises reveals the institution's discriminatory and sectarian politics. In the safety of Prophet Muhammad's honor, Khadim Hussain Rizvi offers redemption to his followers. This study discusses the historical perspective of TLP, the role of religious leaders, and the contemporary situation.
