Child hero

Published January 8, 2019

JANUARY 6 was the fifth death anniversary Aitzaz Hasan Bangash, a school boy from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, who sacrificed his life while preventing a suicide bomber from entering his school of 2,000 students.

I watched a movie on his life. The last scene was moving and sorrowful, when he grabbed the suicide bomber and saved the lives of his fellow students. No one can harm Pakistan if it has the children like Aitzaz Salam Aitzaz
