December 16, 2014, will forever be etched in the memories of Pakistanis as a day of unimaginable tragedy. On this fateful day, the Taliban-affiliated TTP carried out a heinous attack on the Army Public School (APS) in Peshawar, leaving nearly 150 students and teachers dead. The perpetrators, who were part of the TTP and other terrorist gangs, unleashed a reign of terror on the innocent lives, causing widespread destruction and grief. The attack was one of the deadliest in Pakistan's history, and it sent shockwaves across the nation. President and Prime Minister paid tribute to the martyrs, but the scars of that day still linger. The APS attack was a stark reminder of the country's ongoing struggle against terrorism and the need for collective efforts to combat this menace. As the nation observes the commemoration of this tragic event, it is essential to remember the sacrifices of the APS martyrs and reiterate the commitment to creating a safer and more secure Pakistan for all its citizens.
