Tragedy in the Margallas (V)

KARACHI: Six members of the youth parliament of Pakistan lost their lives in the Airblue plane crash on July 28. The loss of so many young and talented people is something that a country like Pakistan can ill-afford.

May Allah rest their souls in peace.

I would appeal to the government to announce July 28 as Pakistan Youth Day in memory of the six who died.
