Unanimous action

Published December 19, 2014

THE terrible deed committed in Peshawar cannot be washed away by words or condolences. It was one of the darkest days for Pakistan.

The most devastating part is that children were targeted. Children who were a source of joy to their families, and who did not even know the meaning of terror.

However, as the saying goes every dark cloud has a silver lining, the unanimous decision of all political parties to stand with the ruling party to combat terrorism is appreciated.

When all parties are joining hands to combat this menace, this is a happy sign for our beloved country.
