A radical Islamist group in Pakistan, Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP), has demanded that the government expel French Ambassador Marc Barety from the country and end diplomatic ties with France. “The parliament is never going to expel the French ambassador, nor is the vote going to happen,” Abdul Basit, a Research Fellow at RSIS, said. “The government’s secretive agreement with the group was only meant to delay the issue.”
