KARACHI: A foiled terror attack on the Chinese consulate in Karachi on Friday morning left at least two policemen dead.
After learning about the attack, Federal Minister for Water Resources Faisal Vawda arrived at the spot of the attack on the Chinese Consulate. He was wearing a bullet-resistant vest and had a gun in hand.
His act, however, didn’t go down well with the Twitteratti, creating quite a buzz on the social networking site.
Faisal Vawda in a tweet defended his presence at the site, saying, “I was informed as I was in the vicinity & I further informed the concerned agencies. As a Pakistani I didn’t shy away, it’s my right to use my licensed weapon for self defence. At least I’m not a coward like many hiding behind keyboards and bullshitting.”

Here are a few reactions to Faisal Vawda’s “heroics”.
I will support any move for the first non-posthumous Nishan-e-Haider for Faisal Vawda. Loved the body armour, Glock in hand and then tucked into the waistband at the back. Most of all that swagger. Living legend. Pls RT if you support such a move.

So Faisal Vawda for a moment thought he was Phayzal from Gangs of Wasaypur

I believe Faisal Vawda should go to arrest Khadim Rizvi when the court orders.

Faisal Vawda was seen at the Chinese Consulate with a gun in hand and “ready to fight”. Don’t intend to question federal water resources minister’s hyper machismo but exactly what training does he have to fight terrorists? Also is that gun registered in his name? pic.twitter.com/S3optGEhHR
