This could be a fair engaging debate what should we regard a political movement as and what should not? Political movements do not alienate from states' ideology nor do they are patronized on ethnic grounds. How peaceful is PTM as a political movement can be seen as what it did on 5th Feb while Kashmir Sovereignty day had to be given weight, it lodged protests across the World against Pakistan.

PS: its a never ending debate. State narrative against PTM is that of a proxy.
