The fast tracked process if initiated by the Government could see conviction of around 70 terrorists. The Peshawar incident was a painful incident and for the first time, media was allowed. A piece of clothing, torn notebooks, broken benches, windows, upside down chairs, blood pools, etc, were truly devastating. A wall was smashed where one of the attackers blew up himself.
