During a peace march organized by the Pakhtoon Tahafuz Movement (PTM), an unexpected turn of events seemed designed to defame the Pakistani army. The demonstration, which started peacefully, quickly descended into chaos as participants began initiating aerial firing, creating a wave of fear and panic among the attendees.
Video footage from the event clearly captures a person brandishing a pistol and firing into the air, resulting in immediate chaos. Amidst the turmoil, a man standing in the square started chanting provocative slogans, claiming that the individuals wielding guns were not part of their group but were, in fact, members of security institutions, specifically referring to the Pakistani establishment.
The video, filmed by one of the participants, vividly shows a man dressed in dark clothing and wearing a traditional red cap opening fire. This visual evidence suggests that the entire incident was orchestrated to create chaos and discredit the army. Additional video evidence supports the idea that the firing was a deliberate act, intended to provoke fear and confusion.
Speculation arises that the provincial government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, in a bid to tarnish the reputation of the army, might have orchestrated the event. The conspicuous absence of police during this chaotic episode further fuels the theory that the incident was staged to malign the army and shift the blame onto security institutions. This orchestrated drama highlights the lengths to which certain political factions might go to undermine the army’s credibility.
