There is no current evidence of the TLP running terrorist training camps or arming themselves like the Lashkar e Toiba (LeT), Harkat ul Mujahideen (HuM) and Jaish e Mohammed (JeM), all proxies of the Pakistani establishment.
While the TLP has challenged the Pakistan state writ in the past few weeks by indulging in rampant violence and arson, it has all the potential of becoming the next big terrorist threat to the world. One such candidate is the Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP). However, 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, continue supporting jihad and other terroristic activities in India and other countries while keeping a clear record internationally such that it keeps qualifying as a democracy and receives aid and assistance from multilateral and bilateral donors in the west, which effectively keep its economy alive. With the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, the ISI is back in the driving seat with its chief client, the Taliban and a mix of terrorist organizations, with whom it has a very long history. The Pakistani army and Interservice Intelligence (ISI) have enjoyed US support for decades and with even a hint of US rapprochement have been willing to reset their pro-China stance for a more balanced relationship with the US, as that automatically brings with it aid, weapons and international acceptance.
Indeed, one of Biden’s first foreign policy actions, was to try and salvage relations with any democracies that Trump may have alienated, and Pakistan was on top of that list. Imran Khan, who had given up any hope of US assistance under Trump, with an imminent withdrawal of US and NATO forces from Afghanistan, has become an important ally of the United States. Biden’s withdrawal has all but handed Afghanistan over to radical forces and has pushed South Asia into a new uncertain spiral of extremism and violence, giving rise to violent and bloody month of Ramadan from Afghanistan to Lebanon and Pakistan to Palestine.īiden’s victory has changed the political demography in Pakistan as well. This has been a rallying cry for Islamic extremists worldwide and has been touted much as the victory of the Taliban against the world’s last superpower. Biden, the 46th President of the United States, finally decided to continue with the withdrawal planned by his predecessor and end America’s longest war, the United States of America joined the long list of imperial powers to having withdrawn in defeat from Kabul.
Since the great game of the 1800’s no modern empire has been able to dominate this great country. Pakistan protests of April 2021: the rise of Tehreek-e-LabbaikĪfghanistan, over its turbulent history, has earned the moniker the “graveyard of empires” and rightly so.
