"This is a revenge attack against the Pakistan Army to refute its claims that they have eliminated Taliban. By these attacks, they want to convey the message that they are still active in the region and they can attack," Khajuria told ANI.
"Most probably the attack has been planned by the Tehreek-i-Taliban, I hope they will claim the responsibility also," he added.
Khajuria also condoled the death of innocent students.
Condemning the attack, the former top cop hit out at Pakistan for supporting the terror outfits.

Khajuria said the moot point here is that Pakistan has to take a call that there is no good or bad terrorist.
"Any form of terrorism has to end. If you show your sympathy towards Jaish and Masood, this acts a morale booster for other terror outfits," he added.
