Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Raheel Sharif visited the Army Public School today, that reopened 26 days after a deadly attack by militants in which around 140 children were killed.
The COAS, along with his wife, met parents and students besides attending the school assembly. General Raheel and the children sang the national anthem and a prayer ‘Lab pe aati hai duaa ban ke tamanna meri.’
He appreciated the courage of students and their parents.
“Everyone is in high spirits…this nation is unbeatable,” he was quoted as saying by the ISPR.
COAS Raheel Sharif and his wife welcomed the children returning to school and also met their parents. Army Public School Peshawar was attacked by terrorists on December 16. Since then winter vacations of schools across the country were extended due to security threats. However, schools throughout the country reopened today.
Many children were crying while remembering their school mates. The army chief said that the morale of the entire nation is high. He added that terrorism will be wiped out from the country.
