Summary Pakistan trended the slogan as educational institutions reopened on Monday after Peshawar Attack
LAHORE: (Web Desk) – Educational institutions reopened on Monday after a break of three weeks due to terrorist threats after the deadly attack on Army Public School (APS) in Peshawar on December 16th last year that had claimed 145 lives and injured at least 130.
Emotional scenes were to be seen on this occasion as the kids flocked to their schools early in the morning fearless. They looked overjoyed to be going back to school after such a long vacation. But the real courage was displayed by the students of APS who were seen making victory signs as they went back to the school where they had gone through some of the most horrible scenes one would ever want to witness.
Parents took their students to school, like they always do. All fathers would know how fathers would have felt that day when terrorists butchered their young ones yet, as always said, Pakistanis know how to overcome their fears.
