After Pathankot, attacks in Pakistan have increased significantly. Either Indian Establishment must be celebrating these attacks or Indians must ask their Defence Minister to explain these remarks becasue this is exactly what’s been happening in Pakistan after Pathankot. When you are beyond convinced that Pakistan attacked Pathakot, and then you make these pledges, what should be assumed?

My heart goes out to KPK. Just yesterday I was feeling so happy to see return of festivals in KPK, and now this ferocious attack on university.
CM KPK goes to his first ever foreign trip to sign investment MoU, and now he's returning back from next available flight, possibly empty handed.
May God have special mercy on the people of KPK - there seems to be no end to their suffering. If it's not terrorist attacks, then it's natural disasters. Those innocent are going through so much.

The very first thought which came to my mind when I heard about this attack was this could be the revenge attack for Pathankot. Hope not but I have my doubts.

All those liberals, NGO aunties, sectarian Mullahs, political parities who made enough noise to obstruct the implementation of NAP. I hope the scenes from Charsadda make you feel really proud of your 'activism'.
Dear Asma Jahangir, I wish you all the success for your next hearing where you oppose the death penalty for terrorists and the 'morality' of military courts. All hail the Human Rights mafia.

Twitter users in Pakistan and beyond have been paying tribute to Syed Hamid Hussain, a Chemistry professor at the university who reportedly fired back at the militants before he was shot dead.
