Sixteen-year-old Aitzaz Hasan, killed while averting a suicide attack on his school in Hangu in January last year, is a symbol of bravery for us as he saved hundreds of his school fellows from the terrorists at the expense of his life. An international news agency termed him the person of the year 2014.
He got more votes than any other person, including Imran Khan. We need to pay him homage. The media should also pay tribute to him. After all he is the pride of the nation.
