On November 6, Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan removed the ban on the right-wing extremist political party, Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP). This comes after TLP organised massive violent protests in which over 20 people were killed. With the socio-economic conditions in Pakistan worsening, TLP’s rise and its increasing far-right influence on the country’s politics points towards a further weakening of the structures of governance under PM Imran Khan and his government.
