NEW DELHI: Indian lawmakers and schools observed a two-minute silence over the massacre in Peshawar that claimed 141 lives on Tuesday.
Thousands of Indians have sent messages of support to Pakistan
At the Modern School in Delhi, a special assembly is being held to remember the schoolchildren
killed in the Peshawar attack.
Apart from the two-minute silence, the schools also held special prayers to commemorate the victims of the attack.
The show of solidarity comes as Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi reached out to Pakistan in a telephone conversation last night with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
