As Pakistan observed the fifth anniversary of a terrorist attack on a school in Peshawar on Monday, social media users blamed the authorities for treating one of the accused in the case as a “state guest”.
Earlier, president of Awami National Party Asfandyar Wali Khan and other political leaders have claimed that the state should be held culpable for having Ehsanullah Ehsan as a state guest
In that attack, six terrorists had killed 147 innocent people, mostly students. While responding to attack, Pakistan’s Army gunned down all attackers and rescued scores of other students.
