The students under the banner of National Students Union of India (NSUI) condemned the attack and expressed sadness over the killing of innocents.
At least 21 people were killed by heavily-armed Taliban suicide attackers who stormed a prestigious university in restive northwestern Pakistan and opened indiscriminate fire.
"Any act of terrorism is an attack on humanity and is highly condemnable. Killing innocents shows how cowardly these terrorists are and it saddens us to see how in the midst of these extreme ideologies, innocents suffer," said NSUI national president, Roji John.
Asking all progressive youth organisations from across borders to unite and raise their voices against terrorism, John said, "The time has come to stand against terrorism. All the countries have to come together to create a world without terrorism."
The student activists raised their concerns over the security of innocent people which is always "at stake" and asked governments of all nations to ensure the security of their citizens.
"It is always innocent people who suffer the most. Every country should ensure the security of its citizens, so that innocent people do not suffer," said national secretary, NSUI, Haseeba.
