I wish I could delete the 16th Dec 2014 from the calendar, from our memories and from the history of Pakistan. Many things are coming into mind but thoughts are so shattered that I feel helpless to express into words,
Whenever I saw the pictures
of students on TV, newspaper and social media, pain, tears, anger, helplessness-everything
arises.
These flower-like children do
not deserve such brutality. They deserved a long, happy, prosperous and
successful life. Not only these kids, but also the staff members, who were
martyred in the worst brutal attack, do not deserve to be butchered by
terrorists. Many dreams, many plans, many wishes and promises-everything buried
along with these martyred.
Some of them had plans of enjoying
cricket match, going out with friends, spending cheerful winter vacations after
a few days, promises to achieve positions in exams etc….all this gone in
seconds. Such plans, promises can never be fulfilled. Those who were saying
good-bye to their fellows during farewell party, said good-bye to the world and
left everyone is tears and heartfelt pain forever.
Pictures showing the
situation of inside the Army Public School, Peshawar
can clearly tell that brutality were at its peak as the terrorists killed
everyone mercilessly. Blood stained copies, bags, shoes, papers-everything indicated
that these students as well as staff members could not get chance to even
understand as to what is happening, before being murdered.
Also those who had seen the
death so close, getting back them to normal life is the biggest challenges. The
time they spent with their friends will be difficult for them to forget.
Everyone inside the country as well across the globe is mourning the deaths and
strongly condemning the attack and offer prayers for the martyred and those who
are injured.
The entire nation is united
in this time of extreme grief and pain, also ban on execution of death penalty
also removed by the government. But this is not enough, it is high time to raise
your voice and press the government to immediately implement on it and start hanging
all these murderers of humanity publicly. Though, it would not bring back the
martyrs, but would give a clear message to extremists that now Pakistan and
its people will not tolerate any brutality anymore.
