A mega-thread on @ManzoorPashteen in honor of the latest propaganda video. I first heard him speak at an April 2018 jalsa in Lahore & have been following his speeches ever since. When even former PMs could only criticize the army in euphemisms, he told the truth, without fear.
Manzoor Pashteen on PTV in 2014:
Swat, 2018:
Interview with BZU students, 2018:
July 2018:
July 2018 warning that the Taliban were regrouping:
VoA interview, 2019:
"When we used to protest in '14-15, they would..pressure us by saying 'Don't protest as it lowers our morale.' Apparently they needed our blood for their morale. Oh my brother, our life is ending! I am talking about my life & you are talking about morale?"
Interview in which he discusses the army's gaslighting:
Interview after #Kharqamar massacre:
Disappointment about lack of support from mainstream Punjab due to media censorship:
"Zaalim ko zaalim hi kaho, qaatil ko qaatil hi kaho"
"Call an oppressor, an oppressor. Call a murderer, a murderer."
On the sacrifices of FATA's people:
After the government's recent offer of dialogue:
PTM is against every oppressor, be it a good Talib or bad Talib or Peace Committee or ISI or MI.
A PTI Facebook page, in its over-smartness, did a poll in April 2018 asking people who was "the real protector of Pakistan."
82,942 votes cast. 50.5% voted for the army and 49.5% for @ManzoorPashteen.
More clips from PTM's press conference after the government's recent offer of dialogue + from Pashteen's arrest earlier this year:
