Since its arrival in Afghanistan, Nato has been generally loathed by Pakistanis. The hatred, however, reached new heights when a Nato airstrike on Pakistani check post killed 24 soldiers last year.
With the government blocking Nato supply routes to Afghanistan, and the ensuing freeze in US-Pak ties, Pakistanis protested against Nato's presence in the region.
Taking the protest online, some local twitter users started a trend #GetLostNATO where people tweeted, calling Nato to end the war and leave the war-torn region.

NATO: Group of countries responsible for modern day colonialism, instead of trade these countries use weapons and media to occupy

NATO, in reality, is North Atlantic Terrorist Organization.

Opening NATO supply will mean betrayal to the Shuhada of Salala incident.

@G. Din: u r right if Salahuddin Ayoubi and the Mughals were not muslims
@Shyam: to Abbas "How many wars have Muslims won in the last 100 years?" I think you missed a zero at the trailing end. I believe you meant 1000 instead of 100!
@Abbas We should call war on NATO/USA. We are Muslims. We have word of Allah – Quran. We are destined to win it. How many wars have Muslims won in the last 100 years?
We should call war on NATO/USA. We are Muslims. We have word of Allah - Quran. We are destined to win it.
@Mj: "Can these patriots get #getlostTTP or #notoreligiousterrorism trend? I guess not."
But that needs courage and ability to think clearly and to introspect. These patriots lack all those qualities. They are good at playing blameless victims.
NATO won't be leaving and neither would they be apologising. In an ideal scenario, NATO should not have been assisted with their agenda here. However, things being the way they are, America should seriously contemplate on swallowing their pride and make better use of the capital left to be employed. Pakistan on the other hand should strictly instate a transit tax on the NATO supply routes. Heck, we've got our death wish already with them instigating enough instability. A transit tax and a condition of gradual reimbursements of the $2bn owed should suffice as prudent conditions to have the routes reopened.
Can these patriots get #getlostTTP or #notoreligiousterrorism trend? I guess not.
@Haider A.: but our brothers Turkey and albania are not involved in any killings. Infact, PM Erdogan of Turkey, when he visited to paksitan, said clearly that USA is backing enemies of Pakistan and Turkey....See the following link: http://www.paktribune.com/news/print.php?id=232490
Love the last tweet by Dawood Butt.. GetLostNato
fool's paradise!!
NATO is the real Terrorist Organization, and their target is only Islam/Muslims... why they don't visit/see Kashmir, Palestine etc ? :O
Your brother Turkey and Albania are also members of NATO.....But Oh! They don't give a damn about religion.
Yes...Get Lost Nato!
Since the dollar aid has stopped, everyone has become patriotic. Wait till when the army agrees the new rate then it will all die down and back to business as usual.
Bunch of frustrated Pakistanis whose blackmail of NATO over supply lines didn't work.
NATO Stop terrorizing the world, stop disturbing the peace of the world
As a protest, they should boycott Twitter because its a US based company
NATO = No Action Talk Only
