Hundreds of people gathered in front of the legislative building on Saturday afternoon in a rally against terrorism.

The rally was sparked by a terrorist attack that took place in Kashmir, India on Valentine's Day.

A suicide bomer killed 41 people, including many soldiers, and was the deadliest attack in the region's volatile history.

Organizers say it’s important for the people of Saskatchewan to show their solidarity against terrorism.

“It shows the strength of the community. It shows that they are willing to combat this issue, stand up proudly and say no to hate and no to terrorism,”  said Mark Docherty, speaker of the legislative assembly.

Saturday’s rally was to show support for the victims of the attack.

“We have gathered here today to pay tribute and respect to the fallen soldiers and extend our gratitude and deepest condolences to the families affected by the terrorist attacks,” Nish Prasad from the Indian Community of Regina said.
