Many Pakistanis, it seems found the final agreement biased towards the protesters who had created a law and order situation in the twin cities and made life miserable for hundreds of thousands of people for weeks. A lot of people have since been venting out their frustration through a tirade of tweets.

Anyone who’s heard the gundi galiaan coming out of Khadim Rizvi’s mouth would understand this tweet!

The humorists aside, there were certainly those who were in a mood so grim that they could have given the grumpiest man on earth a run for his money!

Not so unexpectedly, Pakistani government and army were at the receiving end of Twitter’s wrath.
Finally #FaizabadDharna ends. We are thankful that this Dharna has exposed everybody from the Govt to the Army and whatever in between.

Lessons from #FaizabadDharna; No one cares about awaam in our country. Institutions, government & political parties play politics on any issue no matter how sensitive it may be. Writ of State=writ of an institution. Basically telling people "Sadday tay na rehna"

This video of DG Rangers, Punjab distributing cash among Tehreek-e-Labaik members also raised many eyebrows.
This one was particularly harsh…

Anymore surprises in store? Maybe tickets for a round-trip to Dubai for the protesters?

“Apne Log” quickly became a contentious term following the Army Chief’s statement about not wanting to take up arms against civilians.
Wish same sentiments were shared for mqm, or are they not "apne loag"? #achasorry#FaizabadDharna pic.twitter.com/RxUTJh6wOD

the #apnaylogg will start an inferno in Punjab when the Barelvi radicals start open hostilities with Deobandi and Ahle Hadith groups over who is the #AsliSunni using blasphemy as a WMD. The flames will scorch everything Pakistan considers sacred & unquestionable. #faizabaddharna

Given all that has happened in the last few days, it is hard to deny the fact that yesterday Pakistan lost and extremism won.
