- I know that the government will not do anything except issue some silly comments against brutality even after this attack. I do not issue comments, I believe in taking action.
- I would like the American public to consider what their reaction would have been if American troops had been killed in such an attack on their border with Mexico.

The Pakistani public reacted with protests all over the country and the government took measures adversely affecting the US exit strategy from Afghanistan including the evacuation of Shamsi Airfield and closure of the NATO supply line.
