Very good Faridi.You can be another Malala.Please work and work and go forward. You people are our future.
The great resident of Faisalabad are true role models for whole country. From working hard to paying utility bills honestly, they are proud representatives of this nation.
Speaking in front of UN is like "cast pearls before swine". So nothing important to appreciate..
