As I sat down for my morning-newspaper ritual, I knew what was coming next… the first bold headline regarding Peshawar attack it has been about 3 years ago 16 December ,2014 the black day of Pakistan since a group of seven terrorists stormed into Pakistan’s Army Public School (APS) in Peshawar and killed as many as 141 people including 134 children ranging from 5 to 18 years on the Army Public School in the northwestern Pakistani city of Peshawar..The 3rd Anniversary of the tragic terrorist attack on Army Public School (APS)
The brutal school attack that numbed the entire nation of Pakistan and also the whole world..Considered Pakistan's 9/11..
16 Dec,2014 was the day, when it brought all into my sight, how it feels to see your young beings battered, torturing them to witness their teacher burnt alive. I still cannot imagine that one feeling their loved ones must be going through but I do feel sadness in the air, I feel the darkness across the country.. It’s a heart sinking incident ,It’s a tear pouring down the eyes after watching the parents was crying on television. It’s a frown there on someone’s face disgusted at the massacre.
I question myself again and again that, in the menace the statesmen created long before, ‘Where were children in all of this?’ ‘Where was a common man in all of this?’ School is one of the most secured places on earth, I believe. School is a place of books, not guns. School is a place of ink, not blood. School is a place of learning, not killing. School is a place of sharing the joys of childhood, not seeing your fellows tortured to death. School is a place where we learn to love and care for our very dear teachers, not see them burnt alive.
I believe, even if we bring the most negative of all the negative terms together to define this tragedy, this murder…. it cannot suffice the ACT; be it ‘murderous’, ‘violent’, ‘slaughter’, ‘murder’ ‘evil’, ‘barbaric’ and so on. IT WAS PLAIN TYRANNY! IT WAS PLAIN ZULM..
As our beloved prophet Mohammad (S.A.W) said that..
"Whoever kills an innocent is as though he has killed entire humanity"
The images of blood- soaked school shoes, the shrieks and cries of the parents, the bangs of gunshots and much more is just all was heart wrecking for all of us.We still shed tears..
Our little heroe's and stars of APS you will be always remembered in our memories.
I just want to say that..
The one thing that holds each of us together is prayer .. pray can change everything pray that we become the best version of ourselves and contribute towards the society in different ways; pray that children, and not just Muslim children, but children all over the world remain safe and become the future we want to see; pray that human life is valued and honored everywhere; pray that the whole world becomes gun-free ,peaceful.noiseless and pleasant.. pray that the ones with knives become the ones speaking for human rights.
