A ceremony was held at APS Peshawar on Friday to pay homage to the martyrs of APS tragedy. General Qamar Javed Bajwa, CoAS was the chief guest on the occasion who laid a floral wreath at the martyrs monument and offered Fateha for the departed souls. Later he joined the families of shuhada, large gathering of locals, school children and staff for Quran Khawani within school premises.
Speaking on the occasion CoAS said, "The terror attack on innocent children of the school was an attack on the humanity and the most painful and unforgettable moment in our history. We will never forget our children and thousands others who sacrificed in our fight against terrorism. While Our heart goes with all affected families, I personally draw my motivation from this huge sacrifice."
General Qamar Javed Bajwa said terrorists tried to demoralise the nation and armed forces by attacking the softest target. My message to enemies of our country is that our resolve is unflinching and we will chase these savages to their last bastion and will not rest till their total elimination from every nook and corner of the motherland, CoAS emphasised.
He assured the parents of Shaheed children that armed forces along with whole nation stand shoulder to shoulder with them during these testing times. Armed forces are guarantor of defence of the country and we will not leave any stone unturned to fulfil our duty, he said. Earlier on arrival, he was received by Lieutenant General Hidayat ur Rehman, Commander of Peshawar Corps.-PR
