Why were PTM members targeted?

It's reported that at least three people had been killed and more than 30 wounded after gunfire erupted near a Pashtun Tahaffuz Movement (PTM) protest in the northwestern Pakistani region of North Waziristan. Some reports suggest the number of casualties is higher than reported. The gunfire occurred at the protest led by two PTM leaders, who are also members of parliament, near a checkpoint in the Khar Qamar area of North Waziristan on Sunday morning, the military said in a statement. PTM one of the leading member and MP Ali Wazir was later arrested and is in Jail.
