LAHORE (Staff Report) – As the whole nation prepares to mark the first anniversary of deadly Army Public School (APS) massacre which killed over 150 people including 144 children, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) has released a new song to commemorate the incident that completely changed the national resolve against terrorism.
The new song is also sung by a kid just like the ‘Bada Dushman Bana Phirta Hai’ song which was released by ISPR immediately after the December 16 attack.
The song, which begins with the visuals showing a bus carrying the children to school, aims to avenge the deaths of 144 children by ‘teaching the children of enemies.’
The hardships faced by the grieving families have also been highlighted in the song, specially the scenes featuring parents of martyred kids will leave everyone in tears.
