Federal Minister for Education and Professional Training Dr Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui on Tuesday said those who sacrificed their lives to defend Pakistan\u2019s borders are the pride of the nation.
\nIn a statement, he said, \u201cToday, Pakistan\u2019s value, stature and prestige in the Muslim world and among the community of nations are owed to the Pakistan Armed Forces.\u201d
\nThe minister said living nations regard those who lay down their lives for the country as national benefactors.
\n\u201cOur martyrs and war veterans are the guarantors of our freedom,\u201d he said.
\nDr Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui said that, at this critical juncture in history, questioning the services of these defenders was a great injustice to the country and the nation.
\nHe said, \u201cWe must all place our political interests below the national interest. We should avoid using language that undermines the morale of our soldiers or hurts the sentiments of the families of our martyrs.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
