Two years on

By our correspondents
December 16, 2016

December 16, 2014 was the day when the entire world was shaken by the bloodcurdling APS attack. This was the worst kind of terrorism. This was the attack on the future of Pakistan. The terrorists attacked the students of Army Public School. The attack on children clearly showed the cruelty of terrorists. This massacre has created a void in the heart of the entire nation. Our condolences and sympathies cannot compensate the loss of parents.

But, the APS attack united the entire country against the enemy. We have to stand firm against our enemies and fight till the end of the time to pay homage to the martyrs of the APS attack. Those young children will always remain in our hearts.

The tragedy of Army Public School, Peshawar will haunt Pakistan forever. One can never forget December 16, 2014 – the day when terrorists killed more than a hundred children of APS. The attack left the entire nation deeply saddened. There are no words to describe the incident..

Militant organisations are the country’s enemies. The civil and military leadership should be on the same page to counter terror and violence. Militants of all shades should be eliminated before they could carry out more of similar attacks. In the meanwhile, the families of victims should be compensated adequately.
