On this day in 2014, more than 150 people, including 134 children and staff members were martyred in a blatant act of terrorism at the Army Public School (APS) Peshawar.
It is noteworthy that the prime minister had last month appeared before a Supreme Court bench in a case related to the 2014 attack on Army Public School in Peshawar.
He assured the top court of taking action against all those responsible for the carnage and addressing the grievances of the parents of the APS martyrs.
