The rise of sectarian groups in Pakistan has sprouted many internal challenges for the state as
well as for the society. The issue of sectarianism is directly linked with the security and harmony
of Pakistani society as it has culminated into a grave internal security challenge causing violence
and loss of human life. The institutionalization of these groups and their role in the political
landscape of Pakistan reflects their complicated nature, objectives and the overall discourse on
which these groups are built. Despite the fact that government in various time periods have
banned these sectarian militant groups but they were able to operate in shadows or under the
banner of different names and roles. This piece of research aims to explicate their
multidimensional roles and their capacity to operate and affect the security paradox as well as
society as a whole.
