Moradabad students express anger over Peshawar massacre through paintings

Expressing their anger over the ghastly attack on an army-run school in Peshawar, students in Moradabad displayed their emotions through paintings

The sketches, which are mainly in black and red, depict death and blood.

Muhammad Shadab, a young painter, accused Pakistan of being hand-in-glove with the militants.

"In Pakistan, the number of weapons exceeds the number of people in the country. The other problem with Pakistan is that they give refuge to militants and the result is that these innocent children have to pay with their lives. If the Pakistani army would have been strong enough then no militants would have dared to attack the army school this way," said Shadab.

Amreen, a painter, said her paintings depict the terrorized state of the students and teachers at the time of the attack.

"These children had nothing to do with the militants. But still they had to pay with their lives. Our Islam condemns such acts... Through this painting I would like to portray the terrorized state of that place at that time and these children should not have been killed this way," said Amreen.
