The Civil Society Sukkur, teachers, students and officials of the different departments organised a walk on the eve of the eighth anniversary of the APS Peshawar attack on Friday.
The walk was led by Chairperson Step Foundation Shaista Khoso, President Sukkur Small Traders Haji Javed Memon and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), of the Protection of Human Rights Organization (PHRO).
The rally emerged from City Point and culminated at Globe Chowk where the walk converted into a demonstration.
Addressing the occasion, Shaista Khoso said the people of Pakistan had not forgotten the martyrs of the APS.
She said that the innocent children sacrificed their lives for the sake of the country for which they will always be remembered and the nation will always remember the tragedy.
Haji Javed Memon said it was a cowardly assault which itself annihilated the attackers and united the Pakistani nation against the inimical forces.
He said the nation was still in a state of shock and sorrow over the brazen attack targeting innocent school children.
