Students at Bacha Khan University in Charsadda were held hostage and brutally attacked by members of the Taliban on Tuesday morning. Barely a year after the Peshawar massacre that claimed the lives of 144 innocent children, 21 students laid down their lives, with more than 60 injured as a consequence.
In the wake of the Charsadda attack, Imran Khan and other celebrities sent their thoughts and prayers:
1.
Strongly condemn cowardly terrorist attack on Bacha Khan Uni Charsadda today. The nation stands united & resolute against terrorism.
