As the anti-French protests in Pakistan by the banned Islamist organisation, Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) gets more violent, France has decided to recall 15 diplomats from Pakistan as its National Assembly prepares to introduce a deportation resolution bill against the French Ambassador.

The TLP is demanding the expulsion of the French envoy over the publication of blasphemous caricatures of Prophet Mohammed that has taken Pakistan almost on the brink of a civil war.

Although the Pakistan government has banned the Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan under the Anti-Terrorism Act on Thursday (15 April), the violent protests across the country just do not seem to ebb as two more policemen were killed in clashes with TLP supporters.

However, the Imran Khan government has now decided to present the deportation resolution bill of the French ambassador in the National Assembly today, to please the out of control Islamist organisation that wants to impose Sharai in Pakistan.

If this resolution is passed, it would lead to the end of Pakistan’s diplomatic relationship with France and its further isolation in the world.

It must be noted that France built Pakistan’s scorpene submarines and the Pakistani Air Force (PAF) still operates Dassault Mirage III and this move to deport the French Ambassador would not only have diplomatic and political ramifications but also seriously hurt Pakistan’s defence.
