ISLAMABAD: Nelson Mandela, the world shall miss you. Although you lived in far-off South Africa, you were very close to us at an emotional level. You spent 27 years in prison for fighting for the legitimate rights of your people. That was your sacrifice for your people. You started a new phase in your country. You adopted a policy of love and mercy for your opponents. Today, the whole world is missing you but you will remain in our hearts forever.
You are being admired even by those who were behind your miseries. You have given the whole world a great message: Power of the oppressed is more powerful than swords.Long live Nelson Mandela and his legacy.
Syed Muzammil Hussain
