Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (Urdu: تحریکِ لبیک پاکستان, lit. '"Here-I-Am Movement of Pakistan"'; abbr. TLP), also known as Tehreek Labbaik Ya Rasool Allah is a far-right Islamist populist political party in Pakistan. The party was founded by Khadim Hussain Rizvi in August 2015, who also became it’s first Ameer. TLP is currently led by Saad Hussain Rizvi. TLP became the 4th largest party in Pakistan following the 2024 Pakistani general election, securing nearly 2.9 million votes. TLP also became the 3rd largest party in the province of Punjab, Pakistan after receiving nearly 2.5 million votes in the 2024 Punjab provincial election. TLP currently holds one seat (PP-55 Narowal-II) in the Punjab Assembly of Pakistan.
Tehreek-e-Labbaik is known for its protests against any changes to the blasphemy law in Pakistan. It demands that Sharia be established as the Islamic law in Pakistan, through a gradual legal and political process. However, the TLP has repeatedly resorted to violent protests used to coerce the government into agreeing to their demands.
Most of the party's members belong to the Barelvi movement, a revivalist movement within Sunni Islam. The party organized and led the 2021 Pakistani protests.
Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan has been called "the political wing" of the Tehreek-e-Labaik Ya Rasool Allah (TLYR), a religiopolitical group that Khadim Hussain Rizvi also founded and led.
