Tehreek-e-Labbaik Ya Rasool Allah SAW Pakistan (abbreviated TLP”) Here-I-Am O Prophet of God Peace Be Upon Him Movement Pakistan”), is a far-right Islamist political party in Pakistan. The party was founded by preacher Khadim Hussain Rizvi on 1st August 2015.
The TLP is known for its countrywide street power and massive protests in opposition to any change to Pakistan’s blasphemy law. The party came into existence, and subsequently rose to fame, after the hanging of Mumtaz Qadri, which the political party states was unjustifiable.
The TLP demands that Sharia law be established as law in Pakistan, through a gradual legal and political process. Most of the party’s members belong to the Barelvi school of Islamic thought, the majority in Pakistan.
The TLP was allotted the crane as its election symbol in 2017. In the 2018 general election, the party won two seats in the Provincial Assembly of Sindh.
