She further said that the heartbreaking tragedy of APS took place on this day and terrorists snatched our flowers, our future from us, which we will not forget.
She said the nation avenged the blood of its children with the help of the armed forces and all civil security agencies under the leadership of Nawaz Sharif, who lashed out at the terrorists and restored peace.
Maryam Nawaz said that the entire nation had taken a national decision to eradicate terrorism. “May Allah Almighty grant the affected families, especially the parents of the martyred children, the courage and strength to bear this trauma,” she maintained.
