What is the relationship between Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan and other political parties in Pakistan?

 The relationship between Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) and other political parties in Pakistan is complex and varies depending on the party. Here is a brief overview of TLP's relationship with some of the major political parties in Pakistan:

  1. Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI): TLP has exposed the Pakistani state's vulnerability to ultra-conservative Islamist groups, and the PTI government has been criticized for giving in to TLP's demands in the face of violent protests

     However, there is no direct relationship between TLP and PPP.
  3. Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F): There is no direct relationship between TLP and JUI-F. Both parties have their roots in different sects of Sunni Islam, with TLP being rooted in the Barelvi sect and JUI-F in the Deobandi sect

  4. Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N): TLP's spoiler role in elections may force mainstream political parties like PML-N and PTI to pursue an electoral alliance with TLP in 2023

     However, there is no direct relationship between TLP and PML-N.
  5. Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM): MQM-P reached out to TLP in a bid to claim the Sindh Assembly opposition leader slot, asking for TLP's support

     This indicates a willingness to cooperate between the two parties.
In conclusion, TLP's relationship with other political parties in Pakistan varies, with some parties criticizing the government's handling of TLP protests, while others are considering potential alliances or cooperation with TLP in the future.
