In many cities of Pakistan including Lahore and Islamabad, people are taking to the streets and protesting against the Shahbaz government. To keep the capital of Pakistan safe, internet has been shut down in many cities and lockdown has been imposed. Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) is protesting against the policies of Israel and America.
Violent demonstrations on the streets of Pakistan
TLP workers are moving towards Islamabad in large numbers on the streets. The situation has still not returned to normal in Lahore. A TLP worker and a policeman have died in this violent protest. TLP workers also pelted stones at the police. Police used water cannon and hand grenade to control the situation.
Why is the protest happening?
Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) had announced a protest against Israel outside the US Embassy in Islamabad on Friday (October 10, 2025). After this, the police of Pakistan’s Punjab province raided the TLP headquarters to arrest its chief Saad Hussain Rizvi. The TLP claimed that one of its workers was killed and 20 were injured in the clashes with the police.
