As part of the province-wide crackdown on Tehreek-e-Labaik Pakistan, an ultra-conservative religious party renowned for weaponizing blasphemy politics for political gains, Punjab Police has arrested over a hundred handlers of social media accounts associated with promoting religious extremism. Punjab has banned all public demonstrations or symbols associated with the TLP, and the extent of its crackdown has now reached digital spaces where religious extremist spaces have routinely promoted vitriolic narratives against religious minorities. The effects of this crackdown in curbing religious extremism, however, depend on a host of factors- least of all the fact that the state itself must comply with appropriate and proportionate accountability measures against those responsible for spreading hateful content.
