Within that long post, you have randomly made some tall claims about Pakistan bombing Pushtuns, about Pushtuns living with Pakistan out of fear, about Pakistan responsible for everything that has happened to Pushtuns from Swat to Herat. I pity your victim mentality. Looks like PTM is being successful in cultivating that Ethno-Facist poison within the youth there. Anyways regarding some of your points.
a) Pushtuns in Afghanistan were killed in the Soviet War under the Presidency of Najeeb (Pushtun Nationalist Hero) and are now being killed by the ANA under the Presidency of chief PTM mentor Ashraf Ghani(Pushtun Nationalist Hero).
b) MQM was what PTM is aspiring to be. An Ethno-Facist popular party with a militant wing. Dismantling it without the support of major political parties has been nothing short of extraordinary. All of the credit goes to the Army for that. ANP was part of the coalition government that included MQM. There have now been contacts between MQM-London and PTM.
c) At its peak the TTP had 25,000 foot soldiers, 15000 of them came from the Mehsud tribe including all its leadership at one point. These large figures from a single tribe indicate widespread acceptance of the TTP. Its not a coincidence the tribes responsible for spreading the TTP fitna are now spearheading the PTM fitna too. There was support for TTP in Waziristan and there is support for PTM in Waziristan.
d) Pushtuns have always hated Punjabis. This is not a new phenomenon. Unfortunate and maybe rooted because of historical reasons but nevertheless true.
e) Army was reluctant to take on the TTP because it was deeply entrenched within the Waziristani tribes( refer to point c). It knew once the dust settles after the operation, the knives would be out accusing it of just bombing homes.
A) Afghani Pashtuns and Pakistani are completely different tribes. Pakistani Pashtuns hate Afghanis.
B) PTM doesn't have a militant wing. Even the DG ISPR couldn't accuse PTM of ever hurting a single army person, just foreign funding. Foreign funding for what? Peaceful protests?
C) Who created TTP? Pakistani army with the blessing of America. TTP had soldiers from all over KPK, Mehsud is the dominant tribe of Waziristan. Waziristan is the most illiterate, backward of the whole Pakistan. What you're saying is akin to saying TTP had majority Pashtuns soldiers so Pashtuns are terrorists. Look at the origins of TTP and you will understand why Waziristan was their home.
There is support for PTM in Waziristan because they're the victims. Why would anyone in Peshawar care about PTM? We don't have any worries of landmines, missing persons, our homes are safe. There is a reason for PTM support and it shows that army isn't the saint they're portraying themselves to be, Waziri people have been wronged.
I have seen only one friend from Waziristan in my university days and we all mocked him for how backward and stupid he was. He looked at things different than we did. Back then, it was funny but now, i understand how much of a different world it was for him considering the backward shithole Waziristan was (2007-8).
E) Our army generals had a use for TTP and after the huge dollars inflow, they wanted to milk the Americans for dollars for as long as they could. Innocent lives were lost both of army and civilians for the billions of dollars that army generals ate. The people on the ground close to this shitshow knew what the army was doing.
Use your own logic. You have a huge amount of moola coming to eradicate a threat, if you eliminate it completely that money would stop. Drag it for as long as you can and make the threat even scarier and stronger. The civilians were the casualties.
This isn't a revelation. Ex intelligence and several high profile people have said the same thing over the years after retiring.
I can't help but think army has some use for PTM too. I just don't know what. Eradicating them is as easy as eating a cake. There won't be any backlash either.
DG ISPR just made a press conference to show PTM as a boogeyman. I have a feeling we will see soon what exactly is really going on and why the army won't eradicate PTM.
Depression . . Right! Fickle and short visioned just s bit then?
But these are quite typical attributes in many. Instant gratification is a rampant disease. Blindness is usually the result although grandeur of awareness comes with it too.
Chill out for a bit, read more opinions, read Quran with translation, and then reflect on everything including your life and what's going on around you.
Reading Holy Quran and the lives of Caliphs (RA) make me realise what a sham Imran Khan is selling people about Riasat e Medina. Did you know how much salary did Abu Baker Siddique (RA) took? Same as a poor worker even then he(RA) reduced it even further lest he was guilty of excess and haram.
I understand that kind of moral integrity and God-fearing men are hard to find, however, Imran Khan should stop selling Riasat e Medina when he can't even bother to visit the Quetta victims or condemn Sahiwal incident terrorists. Even the PM of New Zealand showed more humility than Khan has.
It's not an issue of instant gratification either. 1 year is more than enough time to see which direction the government is going.
Even Khan admitted yesterday that if we can reduce the loans from 30 to 20 then it will be a big achievement. What he will refuse to tell you is where are all the loans he took from several countries went and why is it that now corruption has stopped isn't the economy flourishing? Or why the Zardari cabinet is halal now when it was corrupt just a few years ago and why PTIs own are nowhere to be found anymore.
