The PTM attack on a checkpost exposed itThe Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has been inimical to Pakistan and has waged war against it, causing a loss of nearly 70,000 people. It is ironic that two PTM adherents gained access to the Parliament as MNAs in the 2018 general elections but have not given up trolling Pakistan and its Army. The state of Pakistan got its act together after the watershed moment of the APS attack. It is worth mentioning here that under the Pakistan Army Act, if an army check-post is assaulted, the troops are legally covered to effectively respond to the attack and those who conduct the assault can be tried by the military courts. A petition has already been filed in the Islamabad High Court (IHC) against the PTM for speaking against the state institutions, including the Pakistan Army.
