Pakistan remembers APS attack
Pakistan remembers the APS attack!
Today on Dec 16, the country observes the seventh anniversary of the terrorist attack on Army Public School Peshawar.
In the deadliest terror attack in Pakistan’s history, 141 people including 131 schoolchildren and 10 others were martyred when armed Taliban militants stormed the school building on December 16, 2014.
Prime Minister Imran Khan, recalling one of the darkest days, in his message on the seventh anniversary of Army Public School’s tragic incident, has urged the nation to stay firmly united against the elements trying to spread discord and prejudice on sectarian, religious, and ethnic lines.
PM Imran Khan in a tweet said that there will be “zero tolerance for violence and those using it as a tool.”
