December 16, 2014 will be remembered as a black day in the history of Pakistan. It was the day when a group of terrorists martyred 144 people, including 122 students, while injuring several others. It was a brazen and dastardly attack which not only moved the whole nation but also brought the government, armed forces and the general public on the same page against the war on terror.
To commemorate the first anniversary of the heart-wrenching incident, a ceremony was held at the main campus of National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST) on December 16, 2015, to pay tribute to the martyrs and their families. The event was attended by students, faculty and staff from all over NUST. On the occasion, one of the survivors of the incident, who is now enrolled at NUST as an engineering student, narrated the ordeal of the students experienced in the face of terrorist attack.
He showed the resolve on behalf of all his fellow students from APS that they would take revenge on the terrorists by not ceasing to seek education. He expressed how their spirits were high even when the terrorists made every single effort to bring their determination to the ground.
A short video of an interview conducted by Arooba Khan, a NUST student, with the father of two martyrs was also screened. His words moved the whole audience as he expressed his gratitude on his sons not showing their back in the wake of savagery shown by the brutes.-PR
