In early November, from 2,000 protesters from the Tehreek-e Labaik Ya Rasool Allah Pakistan (TLY) began a sit-in in the Pakistani capital of Islamabad. The protesters, led by cleric Khadim Hussain Rizvi, were originally provoked by a minor change to the oath for election candidates.
Though the government has already reversed the oath change, the TLY has kept the protest going, with Rizvi saying they want the resignation of the Law Minister, and that they need to “defend the honor of the Prophet.”
Officials had for weeks tried to placate them, offering talks, and even an apology from the Law Minister. On Saturday, however, police and paramilitary forces tried to push them off the streets, and that went very poorly.
After violent exchanges in the streets, more protesters are in the streets than ever, and Islamabad’s protest is now just the largest of several protests across the country, threatening to bring multiple cities grinding to a halt.
At this point, officials are trying to put a lid back on this soaring chaos, sending the military out but promising not to try to use force. With the TLY emboldened, however, it’s less likely than ever they’ll agree to leave the streets without some concessions.
This is simply the Mullahs, trying to claw back power, the government is powerless against these power brokers.

Kinda like the lobbyists and the Deep State Complex here, huh?
It’s not clear from this story what they want, but a link answered that: Sharia Law.
I thought they already had that in Muslim Pakistan.
It’s never quite that simple… there have been fairly secular and moderate leaders of Pakistan lately: Benazir Bhutto and Pervez Musharraf. Islam has a long tradition of tolerance towards other religions. I think US-funded and demanded violent repression of islamist groups will only have the long-term effect of increasing the power of islamic extremism.

This is rather simple. In Pakusran, US has a rather reliable colir revolution mechanism — juduciary. Not that long time ago — Musharaf was removed via protesting lawyers, as he dud not tow the line. Few months ago, same fate befell Prime Minuster, this time the standard charge of corruption. Then in political vacuum — suddenly Pakistan cancelled a contract for building a dam with Chinese funds, oart if Economic corridor — China to the port of Gwadar. It is simple — topple the rulling party that sugned the corridor deal, and typical western media torrent has justified that in the name of saving Pskistan from Chinese exploitation. Recognizable formula.
Why is justice tafgeted? Not easy to be sure — but it may be the reaction to how activist judiciary managed to use “corruption” mechanism to keep Pakustan in US orbit. If they did not hurry to cancel the dam deal — there would have been some doubt left as to the motives for all kinds of corruption probes. But with the haste to undermine the economic corridor — maked it clear that judiciary is the tool to once again destabilize Pakistan. So, it is possible that Islamic League us striking back at the usurpers of power using some if its ranks. But it us too early to know who else is sitting invthe wings waiting for dust to settle to move in. One thing us sure — no matter how much Pakistan is destabilized, it has no economuc future without regional integration — China, India, Iran and Russia. Attempts at destabilizing will only convince the population that the usurpers are working for foreign powers, and trying to push Pakistan backwards.
All the appearances are that this cllerical push is aimed at justice system, the ine that recently decimated politucal establishment. It remains to be seen where will be the military — in whose camp.
