#IndiaWithPakistan: How two countries united on Twitter against Peshawar attack

A day after two people were killed in a terror attack in a cafe in Sydney, Australia, a terror attack by Tehreek-e-Taliban in an army public school in Peshawar, Pakistan killed over 130 people, including over 100 children.

The Peshawar terror attack, which began at about 11 am on Tuesday morning, sent shock waves across the world. World leaders condemned the attack. Reports said that a total of 15 blasts were heard inside the school campus.

However, people on Twitter again reacted in a poignant way when #IndiaWithPakistan began trending on Tuesday evening after the attacks, a day after #IllRideWithYou began trending on Twitter after the Sydney attack.

Expressing India’s solidarity with Pakistan at such a difficult time, here are some of the most moving posts on Twitter:

Happy to see the trend #IndiawithPakistan. I hope the neighbours come together on every ground
