I pay tribute to the Pakistan Army and its local command, who are defending us by sacrificing their lives.

The Prime Minister of Azad Kashmir said that I am grateful to Asif Ali Zardari, Faryal Talpur, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and Chaudhry Riaz, who entrusted me with the responsibility of this position.
