Pakistani troops and rescue workers at the Bacha Khan University in Charsadda, some 35 km outside Peshawar, on Wednesday.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday strongly condemned the terror attack at a university in Pakistan and expressed condolences to the families of the deceased.

“Strongly condemn the terror attack at Bacha Khan University in Pakistan. Condolences to families of the deceased. Prayers with the injured,” Mr. Modi tweeted.

Taliban militants stormed the university in Pakistan’s restive northwest Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province on Wednesday morning, firing indiscriminately on students and teachers.

At least 25 people were killed and about 50 others injured in the attack as per the latest information.
