Schoolchildren held a protest against the terror attack in Pakistan which killed at least 132 students and nine staff members on Tuesday.
"We are protesting against the Taliban attack in Peshawar where schoolchildren lost their lives. We are very saddened because we are also students and we share their pain and grief," said Rahul Sharma, a student.
Protester Ramakant Desai said the attack on children was ruthless and inhuman.
"We are with the family members of the victims who lost their lives in bloodshed. I cannot express in words how to share their grief," said Desai.
Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had appealed to schools across India to observe two minutes of silence today as a mark of solidarity.
He also had a telephonic conversation with his Pakistan counterpart Nawaz Sharif and offered deepest condolences and all assistance in the hour of misery.

The banned terrorist outfit Tehrik-i- Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on Tuesday attacked the Army Public School in Peshawar, leading to the death of 131 people, including at least 100 students.
According to reports, the terrorists stormed the Peshawar school dressed as Frontier Corps' officers. One of the militants reportedly blew himself up, while the others were gunned down by security agencies. Hundreds of people were taken hostage within the school premises before the terrorists were eliminated. However, the presence of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) throughout the school reportedly hampered the speed of the evacuation of the hostages.
