Achchha hua.
What is the critaria of a 'Martyar'? Were the millions of innocent Bengalis who were killed by Pakistan Army firing in 1971 can be called Martyars?
May ALLAH forgive his sins and enlighten his grave .Ameen
Another son of the Potohar gives his life for Pakistan, but for what end? The gov't needs to come up with concrete solutions to all security issues, with India & ttp. Half-hearted efforts on all fronts mean that these soldiers are dying for nothing.
