ON Dec 16, 2014, enemy carried out an inhuman act when seven heavily-armed terrorists entered Army Public School (APS) Peshawar and martyred innocent children and teachers.
About 140 lives were lost, including 132 students. The main objective of the enemy was to destablise our beloved country and keep us far from education by spreading fear in our educational institutes.
The departed souls will remain forever in our hearts. This heinous act did not affect our determination to eliminate terrorism. Instead, it made us more committed to the fight against terrorists. The entire nation stood firm and showed solidarity with the victims and stood by the armed forces to fight terrorists.
We recently paid tributes to all the martyrs of APS Peshawar massacre.
We should pay our tributes to the soldiers too who lost their lives to make us and Pakistan secure.
