Schools across India observed two minutes of silence on Wednesday as a tribute to victims of Peshawar terror attack.
"The terrorists said that they killed kids in the name of God but no God asks for this," said a student of Delhi Public School, RK Puram.
Earlier on Tuesday, 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.
