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.
