“It symbolises our undeterred resolve in love of our motherland. Your sacrifice has not gone in vain, we owe this improving peace to you,” said the COAS while paying tribute to its innocent martyrs.
Three years ago on December 16, the peace in Peshawar was shattered when gunfire, smoke and dead bodies strewn across the school’s halls and corridors.
Grazed militants rushing from room to room shoot randomly at pupils and adults and killed over 140 people including 132 APS students.
Following the incident, the then army chief General Raheel Sharif launched a military offensive called ‘Operation Zarb-e-Azb’ against the militants as a befitting tribute to all APS victims.
