Honouring the martyrs: 122 schools, colleges named after APS victims

PM Nawaz says initiative aimed at honouring the memory of these children

ISLAMABAD:

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Monday approved a move to rename 122 colleges and schools in the federal capital after the students who were killed in the terrorist attack on Army Public School (APS) in Peshawar.

Approving the move, Nawaz said that the initiative was aimed at honouring the memory of these children whose lives had been tragically cut short by forces of hate and ignorance.

“The intolerant don’t want our children to learn, but we will not give in,” Nawaz was quoted as saying in an official statement. “These children have sowed the seeds of enlightenment.”

“Our enemies fight with hate and extremism and we must fight back by promoting tolerance, enlightenment and education in our homeland. Existence of our homeland and memories of our martyrs are inseparable,” he said.

The terrorist attack on APS Peshawar on December 16, 2014, had left nearly 150 people dead, most of them students. app
