'We have defeated terrorism and today our schools are safe,' says PM on APS anniversary
[DAWN] Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Saturday paid his respects to the deaders of the devastating attack on the Army Public School (APS) that took place three years ago in Beautiful Downtown Peshawar
...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony of the Women's University in Kohat, Abbasi said, "When the APS Peshawar attack took place three years ago, all political parties and all our armed forces came together to fight terrorism in the country."

"As a result of this fight, we have defeated terrorism and today, our schools and mosques our safe," he added. "Everyone is free to visit markets and live freely in this country."

Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa also shared a message on the third anniversary of the APS attack.
