Peshawar attack: Pakistanis overwhelmed with India's solidarity

New Delhi, Dec 18: For the past two days, Indians have been constantly communicating with Pakistanis through Twitter condemning the Peshawar attack and showing solidarity in the hour of grief. This gesture has been acknowledged by Pakistanis who are "overwhelmed" with this humane, undiluted sign of love and kindness. Ever since the terror attack took place Dec 16 at a school in Peshawar where over 140 people, mostly children, were killed, hashtags like #PeshawarAttack and #IndiawithPakistan have been trending on Twitter, creating a bridge to connect citizens of the two neighbouring nations. But another hashtag #ThankyouIndia has also been trending to acknowledge India's support to fellow Pakistanis in this hour of distress. "Dear India, I don't know about my other countrymen but you certainly have won me over with your kindness and humanity," tweeted Sakina Feroz, Karachi-based mass communication student. With this unconditional outpouring of solidarity, Pakistani citizen Emad Zafar tweeted: "Massive respect for our friends across the border for #IndiawithPakistan. Rivalries are secondary, humanity wins."
