He was addressing the 27th annual general meeting of the Retired Defence Forces Veterans Association (DFVA) at Defence Services Officer Mess.
He urged veterans to participate in the social sector. “Your experience and expertise is still valuable for the nation,” he said.
Earlier, in his opening address, Lieutenant General (r) Farooq Ahmad spoke on the achievements of the association over 20 years. He said the association was formed in 1992.
