Religion will keep its status as the opium of poor till the doomsday. So, is true for the global political realm where theist will keep shaping our world. But politics and religion are indefinitely inseparable especially in case of Muslim countries. And more specifically where the National Poet says
When it comes to sub-continent, it is impossible to relieve its history, culture and traditions from its mystic values. The sufis, the mystics and its most influenced form of Muslim sect i.e Barelvism all enshrine in them the strongest of all the feelings which religion Islam pours in them, the blind and exaggerated Love of Prophet PBUH.
It all started with the alleged blasphemous remarks of Mr. Salman Taseer (Former Governor of Punjab) on the law of Blasphemy related to Prophet PBUH whiich led to his murder by his very own guard name Mumtaz Qadri who later was hanged by the state in punishment. Both the act of Murder and the Punishment of the murderer became controversial and all the Scholars in Pakistan of all the sects got immensely divided on the opinion. There were following divisions
1. Salman Taseer's remarks are not blasphemous
2. Salman Taseer's remarks are blasphemous but not punishable
3. Taseer's remarks are both blasphemous and punishable but punishable by state only
4. Taseer's remarks are both blasphemous and punishable and punishable by anyone
5. Murdrer of Taseer is murdrer but he can't be punished
6. Murderer of Taseer is a murderer and should be punished
Tehrik.e.Labbaik Ya Rasool Allah arose taking the stance no 4 and 5 which was mostly followed by one of the biggest sect in the sub-continent i.e Barelvis.
Allama Khadim Hussain Rizvi is the figure who came forth and strictly condemned both the Blasphemous remarks of Taseer and punishment of death by the state for the murdrer Mumtaz Qadri.
His harangues irked the common Barelvis who zealously gathered in the whole country leading to much dis-rest.
In the present 2018 elections of Pakistan, TLP has been reported to be the sixth largest party which is also the most nascent and freshly created who hadn't got much support from media and bagged millions of votes in minimum time. There is a very high probability of the fact that the party who bagged such an enormous amount of votes with 3-4 months of political campaign will be the future's one of the largest political party of Pakistan.
There is no doubt that this party is favored by somewhat peaceful sect of Pakistan as against other religious parties of Pakistan but the state of Pakistan will have to be much careful in devising any law related to religion in future with its emergence.
