The assassination of Punjab Governor Salman Taseer by his own bodyguard, Mumtaz Qadri, in January 2011, marked a turning point in Pakistan’s politics. This act of violence opened up a new chapter in Pakistan’s politics, wherein blasphemy laws and religious emotions serve as the foundation of a fully organised political movement, which terrorises the state. Under Rizvi, TLP perfected mass street protests, paralyzing sit-ins, and ceaseless campaigns that branded any call for reform as betrayal of Islam. The message is loud and clear: in Pakistan, blasphemy politics can kneel down the state. Rule of Law Erosion: Blasphemy allegations have an otherwise potent capability in politics as instruments passing over judicial tribunals.
