The rally emerged from City Point and culminated at Globe Chowk where the walk converted into a demonstration.

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.

He said the nation was still in a state of shock and sorrow over the brazen attack targeting innocent school children.
