As for your attempt to spin and make it look as if Shahbaz was talking about the Afghan Taliban, you need to again get your twisted facts right. Afghan taliban never attacked Pakistan, it was always TTP that attacked Pakistan including Punjab and it was TTP who Shahbaz refered to when he said i dont understand why are they attacking Punjab.
From the above article:
LAHORE Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif has said that the Taliban and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz both opposed former military dictator Pervez Musharraf and, therefore, he is surprised that this common stance has failed to stop the Taliban from carrying out terror attacks in Punjab.
This article is from 2010 when TTP was very much active. Your CM wanted to talk with TTP and wanted them to spare Punjab. So much for the anti TTP bandwagon

Guess who's name was found in Abbotabad? It wasnt IK or PTI or Perviaz Khattaka.
I hope you stick to your last argument line about no excuse to support TTP or was that too selective and only implied to IK.
By the way why is Federal and Punjab government hesitant to let rangers conduct operations in Punjab at the scale of Karachi??
Your N league is in bed with all punjab based militant parties. The likes of Rana Sanaullah have direct links with Sipah-e-Sahaba and other banned organisations in Pakistan.

If rangers conduct operation in Punjab your law minister would be the first one to go behind bars and hence the reluctance of this government to stop from happening such.
Now you can continue with your Imran and PTI bashing.
That is the perfect example of manipulating the history by selecting the certain article that suits your need while in reality suggests otherwise.
Under Musharraf's ruling, TTP was born which was around 2003-2004 - give and take. And that was the moment TTP started attacking Pakistan from the moment.
Then Zardari succeeded Musharraf along with Gillani and assumed the powers over Pakistan. It was during between 2007-2013. In the middle of the term, TTP was attacking everywhere, killing children, almost killed Malala Yousufzai. On the top of it, General Kiyani helplessly observed the whole tragedy as he promised not to interfere the matter of politically democratic affairs after the mess created by Musharraf.
Zardari and Gillani were not concerned about TTP killing people everywhere, to the extent MQM and the gang-wars became normal routine in Karachi. It was clear that they didn't care while Pakistan army couldn't take any action even if they wanted to unless they would launch another Marshall Law which would defy the promise as made. It was responsibility of Zardari and Gillani as Federal and PM of Pakistan, and they failed miserably while not caring at all.
Then TTP started to threaten Punjab. That's when PMLN started
begging to leave Punjab alone.
PMLN did beg for life given Pakistan army was not doing anything about TTP nor Federal government. Clearly, PMLN didn't have federal power to launch military operation during that time, and it seemed like peace was the best option given the whole nation was supporting Imran Khan's peace campaign with TTP repeatedly and through thick and thin, and
even after killing women, children and old people didn't stop Imran Khan from campaigning peace with TTP and blaming everything on Musharraf and his foreign policy.
Despite of PMLN attempted for peace failed miserably, and TTP attacked Punjab to no end. Because TTP came with the fully purpose of destroying Pakistan and undermining its integrity while Imran Khan was consistently making pro-TTP stances like idiot. Even during the dharna in the year 2014, TTP was the first to vouch for Imran Khan and threatened to torch Pakistan to the ground if people didn't support Imran Khan or something along with those lines.
Next election, PMLN came into the power. Then, in the COAS meeting came with two offers; General Kiyani's military operation and Imran Khan's peace campaign. And yes, it was General Kiyani's project, not General Raheel who came afterward.
And it was the same COAS meeting where Imran Khan was caught lying about General Kiyani by saying that the military project had 40% chance of success, and then later, clarified by General Kiyani saying that he meant the military operation will reduce 40% terrorism and there is a lot more to do [which aimed at Afghanistan as safe haven for TTP to my personal opinion]. But the nation was totally in favor of Imran Khan and his peace campaign with TTP. So naturally PMLN had no choice but to let the public-consensus dictate the matter which chose Imran Khan's peace campaign with TTP. Despite of so-called promises from TTP wanting peace while Imran Khan guaranteed for TTP words, but as usual, TTP never had any intention for peace and started attacking again.
Even then, PTI ran away like coward instead of taking responsibility for endorsing TTP agenda.
Then it came to the point that people literally got fed up with the false promise of TTP and Imran Khan. Attack on Airport in Karachi and School in Peshawar were the final straw that broke the camel's back. Then, public-consensus changed its mind and decided for military project over Imran Khan's peace campaign. With public-consensus, Nawaz Sharif was able to launch the military operation with the cooperating of Pakistan army. Even then, Imran Khan was in foul mood for authoring the military operation and
blamed everything on PMLN like PMLN never wanted peace intention with TTP.
But the whole Pakistan was happy, Nawaz Sharif was happy, and Pakistan army was happy, except Imran Khan.
That day Imran Khan said Pakistan would be making major mistakes and would regret it big time.
Let's talk about PTI political party; housing certain political leaders that are pro-Afghanistan and anti-Pakistan. And it was those that opposed the development of Pakistan and supported TTP that is originally based in Afghanistan supported by Afghan intel which is on the record. And it was same TTP that Ajit Doval confessed through sponsoring terrorism all over Pakistan which has claimed the lives more than 50,000 innocent people including children.
If you look from the 2003/2004-2014, Imran Khan was consistent with pro-TTP stances throughout that time. Even some do in PTI political party that opposes the development of CPEC.
