Funeral prayers in absentia of Peshawar school martyrs were offered on Wednesday in Sindh Assembly premises. It was attended by Provincial Minister Dr Sikandar Mandhro, Sindh Assembly Secretary and other staff besides employees of Sindh Secretariat.
While talking to media, Dr Mandhro said the school attack in Peshawar was very tragic that took lives of over one hundred children besides staff. He said, “We are equally grieved at this horrific incident and share grief with victim families who lost their beloved children.”
Expressing his views on the decision of prime minister of Pakistan for lifting moratorium on executions and allowing capital punishment for those sentenced to death in the cases of terrorism, the provincial minister said such decisions should be taken so that accused involved in heinous terrorism crimes could be sentenced to death.
Dr Mandhro said military, police and people had sacrificed their lives in the war against terrorism for long time while the government and other political parties were on the same page against the terrorism.
Before the funeral prayer, Quran Khwani and Fateha Khwani were also organised by the Sindh Secretariat secretary in Sindh Assembly hall, in which a large number of people participated and prayed for the departed souls.
