Amidst intermittent gaffes issued by the Interior Ministry and thinly veiled attempts to distort public discourse on the operation, lies the school girl from Swat, caught in a cross fire between ideologically opposed elements, who would go as far as to justify the attack on her.
As condemnation against the attackers of Malala Yousafzai and her friends Kainat and Shazia, poured in from all quarters of the world, political and right wing leaders in Pakistan rushed to slam the attack immediately and a national consensus vis-à-vis Tehrik-e-Taliban (TTP) was seen to emerge. The attack had been ordered from across the border by Maulana Fazulallah and as people took to the streets to demand swift action against the miscreants, a counter narrative to the general reaction was seen to emerge and infiltrate popular sentiment.
