A CONGREGATION of more than 500 people united in prayer at a Bradford Sikh temple for the victims of last week’s Pakistan school massacre.

Members of the Guru Gobind Singh Gurdwara, Leeds Road condemned the Taliban attack and prayed for the victims at the service.

The attack on the school in the Pakistani city of Peshawar left 141 people - 132 of them children - dead.

The Taliban said the raid on December 16 was in revenge for an army offensive in the north-western region near the border with Afghanistan.

Sadhu Singh Chhokar, temple general secretary, said: “We wanted to pray for the innocent victims.

“The whole congregation of the temple attended.”
