16-12-2014 was indeed a “dark day” in Pakistan, when terrorists got into an army school based in the city of Peshawar in Pakistan and opened fire killing 149 people which included 133 children.
People all over the world have condemned the attacks and prayed for the people of Pakistan.
The Chief executive of the Leicester Pakistan Youth and Community Association Mustafa Malik organised a vigil in Leicester City at the Clock tower on Friday the 18th of December. He said, “What has happened is an inhumane and barbaric act and we condemn this act of terrorism.
Vic Sethi a Leicester based businessman said: “I was shocked to hear the news of the attack on children in the school. It is a un human act by these barbaric killers. They are not the followers of Islam as Islam teaches peace and unity. My heart and prayers go out to the Victims, Families and the Loved Ones. We pray to the Almighty to bless the family and the loved ones of the Victims with courage and strength in this sad and difficult time. We have all gathered here to show our support to the people of Pakistan and condemn such brutal actions of terrorism.”
MP for Leicester East Keith Vaz and MP Jon Ashworth also attended the event amongst other leaders.
