December 16, 2014 was the most tragic day of Pakistan. Two years have been passed, since the APS attack, but no one can forget the darkest day in the history of the country. It seems that from inside, terrorists are already dead. How cruelly the innocent schoolchildren were killed. Bodies of children – drenched in blood – were lying on the school’s premises. Children were ruthlessly shot dead when a few militants bombarded the school. The attack has left everyone speechless.

According to a famous Pushto proverb, “When your child dies you bury him in your hearts. He only dies the day you die” How true the proverb is! Within a short span, the massacre turned the world upside down. The victims of the attack will always rise and shine in the heart of the entire nation. Not only for today or tomorrow, but forever.
