Leaders around the world chose to condemn the Taliban massacre of Pakistani schoolchildren and teachers as “heinous” and “an act of horror” at the Peshawar school attack .
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon led to voice his outrage over the atrocity in the chorus of international condemnations and said, “It is an act of horror and rank cowardice to attack defenceless children while they learn", while stressing that the UN would continue to support the Government of Pakistan in its fight against terror and extremism and urging the government to bring the perpetrators to justice.
INDIA HONEST urges Pakistan to needs to follow the advice of U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to bring all the perpetrators of terror to justice, simultaneously following the urgency and honesty in need to book terrorist like Hafiz Syed and Dawood for their similar heinous crime of killings in Mumbai attack. Blood spilled of innocent people is same red, whether drowned at Mumbai or Peshawar or Iraq or Kabul or Sydney. All terrorist are killer and must be booked to justice rather than be protected.
US President Barack Obama said, “By targeting students and teachers in this heinous attack, terrorists have once again shown their depravity. He added,“We stand with the people of Pakistan, and reiterate the commitment of the United States to support the Government of Pakistan in its efforts to combat terrorism and extremism and to promote peace and stability in the region,” .
Afghan President Ashraf Ghani said in a statement,“The killing of innocent children is contrary to Islam,”. Pakistani Prime Minister Sharif described the attack as a “national tragedy unleashed by savages” and said,“These were my children. This is my loss. This is the nation’s loss,” . The PM announced 3-day national mourning.
But Islamic sharia proponent terror group, the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, which claimed responsibility for the assault, called the barbaric killings only as a revenge for a major military offensives in the tribal region.
Inter-Service Public Relations DG Gen Asim Bajwa of Pakistan said said the terrorists had been identified. They were getting instructions from an undisclosed location which had been traced. They had also brought a huge quantity of ammunition and food to fight for long hours.
INDIA HONEST remembers of similar circumstances in 26/11 attack on Mumbai, when the terrorist were getting instructions from the network within Pakistan.
IH deplores in the strongest terms the cowardly and barbaric attack on innocent children and people any where in the world, and urges all the nations and human rights shop owners, which are ignoring the atrocity done by such terror groups , even sometimes protecting them to meet their political or religious whims. It is ruining for one and all, even to the supporters of such terror groups.
