The recent PTM (Pashtun Tahaffuz Movement) rally descended into chaos, with severe disorganization and frustration among workers. The absence of PTM leaders fueled anger, leading participants to target police deployed for security. This disarray raises concerns that the event failed before commencement, leaving many disillusioned.
Lack of planning, inadequate logistics, and poor communication created an environment ripe for chaos. Without guidance, participants became agitated, venting frustrations on police. Eyewitnesses describe scenes of pandemonium, with protesters shouting slogans and demanding answers.
The Pashtun Tahaffuz Movement advocates for Pashtun rights and social justice. However, recent events raise questions about its ability to mobilize effectively. Internal divisions, leadership struggles, and external pressures have taken a toll.
The failed rally’s consequences extend beyond PTM, affecting Pakistan’s volatile political climate. Only through introspection and reform can PTM reclaim relevance and advance its mission.
