President Pranab Mukherjee condemned the terror attack on Bacha Khan University at Charasada, Pakistan on Wednesday.

The President said, "I am deeply saddened to learn of the barbaric terrorist attack on Bacha Khan University at Charasada, Pakistan today. The attack is all the more condemnable as the terrorists chose for this heinous crime the death anniversary of the great Badshah Khan, who worked tirelessly for peace."

"The strongly condemnable attack once again shows that no difference can be made between 'good' and bad terrorists and all forms of terrorism and all manner of support to them need to be completely eradicated," he added.

 

He also conveyed his heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families, and prayed for the speedy recovery of the injured.

At least 21 people were killed and over 30 others were injured as heavily-armed terrorists stormed the Bacha Khan University in Pakistan's restive northwest Khyber- Pakhtunkhwa province and opened indiscriminate fire on the students and teachers.
