| [DAWN] A video game based on the Beautiful Downtown Peshawar ...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire. Taliban school massacre of more than 150 people, mostly children, was removed Monday after triggering a social media uproar, with critics blasting it as tasteless. This isn't the one with Jonas Savimbi. The game, called "Pakistain Army Retribution", was released by the Punjab 1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard 2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers 3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots.... IT board on Google Play, and invites the player to step into the shoes of a soldier shooting murderous Moslems in the hallways of a school. It is inspired by the country's deadliest ever bully boy attack that saw nine Taliban gunnies storm a school in Peshawar, shooting students and teachers in cold blood and occupying the school for hours until they were killed by the army. But after an article on Dawn.com criticised the game, social media users lambasted its makers for exploiting the tragedy. "Bizarre and distasteful," user Shaheryar Mirza wrote. "Play the APS game on Android, kill the bad guys, empathy and good taste in one go," wrote Fasi Zaka, referring to the Army Public School that was targeted in the grisly attack. |
