Pakistan's Crackdown on TLP and Pro-Palestine Rallies Sparks Controversy

Pakistan's Punjab province is seeking to ban the far-right religious party TLP following violent protests and a crackdown, including detentions and casualties, over their planned march against a US-backed Gaza peace plan. The government aims to proscribe the group for inciting violence and spreading hatred, amid concerns over their history of violent protests and targeting minorities. The TLP's protest was an attempt to rally support on Palestine issues but failed to resonate widely, leading to a significant state crackdown.
