1 - If anybody is confused about #PTM. They should revisit the history of #TTP in Pakistan.

We were confused about them. We didnt know how to deal with them. Numerous peace pacts and Jirgas were carried out only to be sabotaged later on by a violent act or statement.

#TTP enjoyed support of Pakistanis, either through direct assistance or through indirect help. They were taken as disgruntled, opressed people by armed forces (front line allies, NaPak army etc) People used to hate forces. All that led to a mayhem and dark time period of Pakistan

3 - Most of the supporters of #TTP, were from center to the right or far right elements. Grass root level activists, academics, politicans, media, lawyers, religious scholars, youth all were effected..

TTP claimed to establish justice system like #PTM claims for peace system.

4 - Now #PTM is also enjoying the support of center to the left or far left elements in the society. They have also managed to gather support from right wing elements.

The confusion about PTM stems from this very supportive & radical behaviours in the name of reason and peace.
