taliban means students who were recruited from various madaaris in Pakistan to fight the soviets or at least be the face of the fight, they then came back to Pakistan to create islami emirate (and somewhat succeeded e.g in Waziristan).

talib: singular
taliban: plural
No they weren't, stop making bullshit revisionist history. Talib and taliban both singular and plural came to the fore after warlords had made it a living hell in Afganistan in mid nineties. The Mujs during the 80's recruited mostly from Afghan refugee camps, Arab and other overseas fighters and Pakistanis of all stripes, ethnicities and age groups.

May 9 will be remembered as a dark chapter..

Chairman PTI was taken into legal custody yesterday from the Islamabad High Court according to NAB officials - immediately after his arrest, there were organized attacks on Army properties and installations and anti-army slogans were raised. On the one hand, these evil elements vigorously stir up public sentiments to fulfill their limited and selfish goals and on the other hand, they do not get tired of highlighting the importance of the army for the country while throwing dust in the eyes of the people.
There is an example. What the eternal enemy of the country could not do for seventy-five years, this group, wearing a political cloak, in the lust for power, has done.
The army showed extreme patience, tolerance and restraint and without caring about its own reputation worked with extreme patience and tolerance in the wider interest of the country. Army should give its immediate response which can be used for its nefarious political purposes - Army's mature response thwarted this conspiracy - We are well aware that behind this are the orders, directives and directives of some evil leadership of the party. There was and is complete pre-planning. Facilitators, planners and political activists involved in these operations have been identified and strict action will be taken against them as per the law and all these evil elements will now be responsible for the consequences.
Any further attack on the army, including all law enforcement agencies, military and state installations and properties will be severely retaliated against by the very group that wants to push Pakistan into a civil war and has repeatedly attacked them. It has also been expressed.
No one can be allowed to incite people and take the law into their hands

Seeing the Punjabis Lahoris ransacked Lahore Corps Commander house and GHQ Pindi so viciously is so sad, never happened in 75 years :

Not sad, first happy milestone in the long journey to freedom.
 
Commandant or CFC is the highest rank in the FC, a 22 grade officer equivalent IG and has command of 33,000 men under him.

He’s no tea boy.
Which is very commendable. Someone disregarding his personal and financial well being on principle.

I meant Col/Brig represent the bridge b/w a 3 4-star and junior officers. They should start refusing orders by tendering their resignations which essentially signals lost faith in senior leadership.
 
Maybe it’s my feed only but I did not see any PDM politician tweet? They all gone underground? Idiots still think this is all coordinated , if it was PDM would have been targeted by now

So they are saying the army is pushing the country to a civil war?

What an incoherent statement. They even incriminate themselves

You are right.
Ahmed Rashid's "Taliban" is a good primer. Taliban were created by ISI at the behest of CIA and funded by Saudi to pacify Afghanistan post Soviet withdrwal. This is the time when Ahmed shah Masood & Hikmatyar were fighting each other. US wanted access to Central Asian Oil/Gas resources which required a pacified Afghanistan. Unfortunately that didn't turn out how it was expected.
