The contents of the resolution state that “the house salutes the services and achievements of the deceased, particularly in the wars of 1965 and 1971”. The resolution demands that a road be named after Chaudhry and that his achievements be included in the educational syllabus so that “the new generation can learn from his excellent track record”.
