ANI Editor Smita Prakash retweeted the tweet and wrote, "Gifting Pakistan style" whereas another user said that "least they could have put it inside a box." 

 Apart from making fun of the event, several netizens also pointed out that the neighbouring country is "glorifying terrorism" while others expressed their disappointment at the state of affairs in Pakistan. Many of the Pakistanis distanced themselves from the people calling it "culture" and said that this is not a part of it.
