The 2021 Pakistani protests were a series of protests and strikes in Pakistan from 11 to 20 April 2021. Mass protests first erupted after a series of calls for nationwide rallies and picketing against the government of Prime Minister Imran Khan and his cabinet, orchestrated by banned far-right party Tehreek-e-Labaik Pakistan (TLP) [2][3] The primary motive was against France after a supposed blasphemous caricature was published there and the events surrounding the murder of Samuel Paty, a French middle school teacher. The demonstrators demanded a boycott of French goods and the expulsion of the French ambassador.[4][5]
The protests intensified across Pakistan after the party's leader Saad Hussain Rizvi was arrested on 12 April 2021.[6][7][8] It ended on 20 April 2021 when the expulsion of the French envoy was agreed to be discussed in the parliament.[9][10]
