PTI online supporters have earned the title of PTI trolls for their swift and aggressive approach of defending the party.
Many local Twitter users have found such fervent PTI support to be pushy, and at times, abusive.
This led to a twitter trend #AbusivePTI on Thursday, with people bashing the party and its supporters.
In defense, a counter-trend #PMLNDirtyTrolls was created, with PTI supporters and well wishers alleging that the PML-N was playing dirty politics on the Twitter front with 'paid' support and fake accounts pushing anti-PTI trends.
Below are few selected tweets from today.

I am sorry but the chronology of events is not the same as Tribune has put it. It was after there was a lot of "Hue and Cry" over Mushahidullah (from PML-N) using dirty language with Naz Baloch (from PTI) in a TV interview, when even Journalists like Dr. Shahid Masood and Mubashar Lucman started condemning Mushahidulla for it; Maryam Nawaz sharif rose to the situation and said "Mushahidullah sb said nothing objectionable"
It must also be noted that she initially condemned Mushahidullah (bt made conflicting statements of nt having seen the show), later she tweeted something like "honour of women must be upheld no matter what, but I believe respect is also earned by how women conduct themselves."
It was after that that Maryam Nawaz started this trend of "Abusive PTI" where she claimed that since PTI is abusive it has 'a dirty mind' and thus it takes things being said in a diferent context as "dirty" (all this in reference to the Mushahidullah-Naz Baloch event).
Meanwhile AbidSherAli (president punjab PML-N youth wing tweeted tht Mushahidullah said nothing objectionable and he was found 'abusing some one's mother' while journalish Dr. Shahid Masood was being tagged in the conversation.
Isne meri tweet kidr se parhi o.O
The tweet by PTI ''Whaat. I didnt know #pmln followers could figure out how to use twitter'' is soooo funny :-) rofl. Ik all the way.
Well the reality is PTI ....... Imran Khan is the true leader ........
I don't want to give vote to those ( PMLN ) , who first ran away to Jeddah
and afterwards did Murree-Burban meetings with Zardari ( PPP ) in 2008 .......One thing is for sure that PTI has one & only one party to oppose which is PML-N. PTI is a Bteam of PPP & PMLQ unholy alliance against PML-N. Now this unholy trio can never ever win from PML-N !
Think you got the sub headings wrong. Instead of "tweets from abusive PTI trolls" we have tweets about PTI trolls and vice versa.
quite a Dirty Picture it is........
Strange, no mention of PPP Internet Pygmies?
@mohammadsultan and Hira: It is none other than PTI Chairman Mr Imran Khan who started this trend. Maryam Nawaz and Hamza Shahbaz aside it was Imran Khan who would always call the ex Pm and serving CM dengi brothers, baal ur jana, yorker karana, Noora league, first you tell is this some stage show. Everywhere he goes, Quetta or Karachi, its the Noora league the dengi brothers who haunt him
as usual pti wins
why maryam nawaz sharif is always on top maligning pti whenever anything happens. all day she just troll the trolls on twitter .She is even worse than them.
Keyboard warriors...
It is indeed ironic that such trends were lead from PMLN top leadership and none other than Maryam Nawaz sharif took part in trending. It would hv been better if such twitter arguments are left to the supporters and politicians should mind some serious things. Pakistan today is in complete mess, does anyone care about that ?
