Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry said the recent developments showed that the biggest threat is not India, but extremism within the country. Some analysts believe it feared that the use of force against a group that projects itself as a custodian of the honour of the prophet could cost them politically. The government says that it has lifted the ban to avoid confrontation with the people who call themselves lovers of the Prophet of Islam. The government has not disclosed the circumstances under which this was done but some media reports suggest that military chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa played a key role in the decision.

The ban on the group has been lifted, and leader Saad Rizvi and hundreds of other TLP workers released. The year the TLP was formed, its founder threatened to 'wipe the Netherlands off the map' after Dutch Politician Geert Wilders announced a contest to draw caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad.ДЇamily members of Irfan Ahsan hold up a picture of the deceased constable, who was assigned to provide security during a pro-TLP protest Changing tidesД«ut almost seven months later, the government has completely reversed its position. It is a hardline Islamist group that supports the country's controversial blasphemy laws that carry a death sentence for insulting Islam and the Prophet Muhammad. The group was founded by firebrand cleric Khadim Hussain Rizvi in 2015.

State police say that this year alone, TLP supporters have killed 10 policemen and tortured and injured another 1,300. It was not the first time the TLP had been accused of such brutality. 'They have destroyed so many families and orphaned a little girl, just to get one person freed.' 'We are so deeply hurt because those who killed him call themselves custodians of Islam, but I am not sure what kind of Islam they practice,' Mr Ahsan told the BBC. Two days later, his badly mutilated body was recovered from a nearby hospital. The TLP mob kidnapped Ahsan when he went to buy medicine during his lunch break, according to his brother Usman Ahsan. The protesters were also demanding the release of their leader, Saad Rizvi, who had been jailed under anti-terrorism laws. On 31 October, police officer Irfan Ahsan was posted to provide security at Wazirabad town in Pakistan's Punjab Province, where hundreds of TLP protestors had been camping for more than a week with the aim marching to the capital Islamabad to force the government to expel the French envoy over the reprinting of caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad in a satirical magazine. Many fear that the move has implications not just for Pakistan's politics but also for the wider region and the rest of the world. The TLP's jailed leader, as well as hundreds of his supporters, were released and the party will now be allowed to participate in mainstream politics.

Last month, Pakistan lifted a ban on the hardline Islamist party, Tehreek-e-Labaik Pakistan (TLP), which has been the face of anti-France protests over the reprinting of caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad.
