India expresses solidarity with Pakistan – Parliament observes silence to mourn the slain Pakistan children


#IndiaWithPakistan In a show of solidarity with neighbor Pakistan, both the houses of the Indian parliament observed two minutes of silence in the wake of the terror attack in Peshawar.
Prime Minister Narenda Modi has condemned the killings and had called up his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif to assure him of all assistance from India. In the course of their talks Prime Minister Modi expressed hopes that the children who were witness to the horrific attack and loss of their friends would come through this trauma through counselling.
The Indian Prime Minister also added during his telephonic talk with Nawaz Sharif, that this moment of shared pain and mourning should also be taken as a call for the two countries and all those who believe in humanity to join hands and to decisively and comprehensively defeat terrorism.
Schools in India also observed two-minute silence in memory of the dead.
It was a bloody carnage that left the world stunned when the Taliban terrorists in Pakistan's northwestern city of Peshawar shot dead 141 people, including 132 school children, after storming into an Army Public School in the morning hours.
