Amarinder condemns attack on Peshawar school

Congress leader Amarinder Singh today condemned the attack on a Pakistani school by Taliban suicide bombers terming it "brutal" and "inhuman massacre".
He said that it was far too cruel and inhuman and unbelievable to imagine that someone can turn so ruthless and brutal to kill innocent and harmless school children with such impunity.
"We in India share the grief of the parents and the people of Pakistan who lost their small children to a cowardly and dastardly act of inhuman insanity," the Amritsar MP said in a statement here.
"Even the brutes and the beasts will think twice before targeting little innocent and harmless children," the former Punjab Chief Minister said, adding, no words of condemnation are enough to condemn this incident.

He further said that "this brutal attack by the Taliban has only proved that they deserve no mercy or leniency for what they have done today and the way they have proudly owned and taken responsibility for it and also justified it".
At least 124 students were among 126 people killed today when heavily-armed Arabic speaking Taliban suicide attackers stormed an army-run school, shooting from classroom-to- classroom and taking several hostages using them as human shield in Pakistan's volatile Peshawar city.
