Leader of the opposition in the National Assembly Shahbaz Sharif called it a painful day for the nation and asked: “Have we learned any lessons and corrected our course?”

“When will we sincerely put our heads together for a better future for our children? There are too many questions but too few answers,” he said in a tweet.

Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said the nation still felt the pain of “this great tragedy”, adding that “everyone is still waiting for justice to be served to the innocent souls.”

Columnist and writer Fatima Bhutto said the victims are forever in our hearts.
