Thread on how PDM failed:

1) No sight of common man + families in Jalsas; mostly party workers which explained that public is not with them

2) BBC interview by Bilawal where he asked Nawaz Sharif to produce evidence before accusing army chief

3) Maryam back tracking and being open to discussion with Army (again on BBC interview), even the people who got fooled by revolution, understood that Maryam is wrong number

4) Work from home (woh bhi abroad wala home) revolution of Nawaz Sharif rejected

5) Serious defeat of both PPP & PMLN against PTI in Gilgit Baltistan elections showed that Pakistanis trust PM Imran Khan

6) Epic Failure of Lahore Jalsa (this hurled them more than anything because monumental hope was from that Minar e Pakistan event

7) Maryam’s frustration after Lahore Jalsa failure where she talked about Saza / Jaza

8) Maryam’s trust in Bilawal for “Aar ya Par” resignations decision, Zardari Kafi Bhari broke their hearts, not more than PM’s playing with dogs picture during Lahore Jalsa

9) Maulana’s complaint about Maryam’s selfish politics to Nawaz showed that they have trust issues. PPP practically left at that point too

10) Maryam’s Israel tweet mistake and several other twitter mistakes (photoshopped images) showing desperation

11) Patience of PM Imran Khan and Army Chief - this was the true masterstroke. Folks like Najam Sethi and Hamid Mir hoped for Govt’s mistakes in dealing with PDM but “Trust Khan and Keep Calm” mantra worked. At no point, PM was worried about PDM.

12) The people of Pakistan - We give very little credit to the common man who saw through the PDM agenda of “Papa Bachao and Power may Aao Muhim” ; In this campaign, their rejection of PDM played a huge role.

13) #PTIFamily - the way PDM narrative was countered and exposed on Social Media by Insafians & Pakistanis in general was praiseworthy. Even on their “D-Day - Lahore Jalsa” , they were behind the PTI hashtag all day

14) During PDM events, their journalist wing got totally exposed when they took petition to Islamabad High Court to allow Nawaz Sharif’s speeches on TV. So many big names got exposed and that dented the credibility of their narratives on TV.

To conclude, I would say that the unnatural alliance, no public interest cause, Maryam’s selfishness & arrogance, pro PDM journalists credibility dent, PTI Social Media, PM IK’s patience, & “Basha’oor” people of Pakistan contributed to PDM’s failure. #PakistanRejectsPDM
