NewsUndeterred by attack, even bigger crowd turn up at Wagah today
LAHORE: Undeterred by one of the worst suicide bomb attacks in Pakistan’s history on Sunday which left 60 people dead and over 100 injured, a large number of people attended a parade at Wagah border today and filled the air with resounding slogans of ‘Pakistan Zindabad’.
Sunday’s cowardly attack failed to mar the spirits of Pakistani nation, as Today’s parade proved that Pakistani people love their motherland more than anything else and they are ready to sacrifice their lives when it comes to their country’s honour and defence.
Core Commander Lt Gen Naveed Zaman, DG Rangers and high-ranking police officers were also present on the occasion.
The high-spirited crowd, including women and children, chanted vociferous slogans of ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ (long live Pakistan) and ‘Dehshat Gardi Murdabad’ (down with terrorism).
“We equally share the grief of family members who lost their loved ones in the yesterday’s attack at Wagah border,” said Core Commander Lt Gen Naveed Zaman while addressing the crowd.
He said today’s ceremony is a testimony to the fact that no one can dampen the nation’s spirit by perpetrating dastardly attacks. “My sympathies go out to the bereaved families,” he said.
He admired the ‘big-hearted’ Lahoriites who turned up at today’s ceremony out of ‘national spirit’.
On Sunday, a suicide bomb attack ripped through the crowd as they returned after attending a parade at the Wagah border, leaving 60 people dead and over 100 others injured.
