With a strong resolve to not be gagged by threats from terrorists, Peshawar's Army Public School reopened for educational activities along with other institutions in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and other parts of the country.
Soldiers were positioned with sophisticated weapons on roof tops and all around the institute's premises. Military vehicles were patrolling along the outer wall cordons which have now been raised to more than 10 feet high and have had barbed wires fixed on top. High zoom cameras have also been installed at several points.

How I wish we could March in solidarity in millions. Bravo, great sons and daughters of Pakistan. No extremist will ever be able to break our resolve to live in peace and without any dictate of the fundamentalists, from within or outside Pakistan. United Pakistan, Strong Pakistan.

It's been a month and no arrests so far? These parents have a lot of courage to send their children after the tragedy. A good move to show to talibans that they cannot destroy our institutions.

A society that requires their children to become Shaheeds or great courageous heroes (just to attend school) is totally dysfunctional.

The plotters of the carnage intended to instil terror and fear in the people. That they have miserably failed in their nefarious design was evident today - loud and clear.

May Allah give us courage and patience to overcome that great tragedy! Spirit and bravery of children and parents is indeed admirable. This shows Pakistanis' love for education and hate for terrorism.

do they really think taliban are going to come back to Army public school to attack again? Taliban did GHQ attack, then Karachi airport, then wahga border and then Army public. Who knows whats their next target.

Because it's an army school - it get's the security. Common man on the street and his children get the gun in "national interest".
