It’s been five years since the heart-wrenching #APSAttack in Peshawar and memory of the deadly attack, local celebs took to Twitter to pay tribute to the 140 young lives lost.
The Twitter trend list this morning is a reminder that there’s no way of lessening the pain.
Mahira Khan, a mother herself, tweeted “Will not.. can not, ever forget.”
