At a special meeting of the Executive Council, chaired by the President Veterans of Pakistan (Formerly Pakistan Ex-Servicemen Association (PESA)) Lieutenant-General Ali Kuli Khan (Retd), the members have greatly appreciated the national spirit and unity of the people of Pakistan for coming out on the streets in massive numbers all over the country to show their anger at the new USA policy for South Asia.
The American leaders must realize that we have given them back much more than their dollars' worth in terms of life and material. We are proud of our contribution for peace not only in the region but also restoring peace in many other countries as UN peace force. The best course in Afghanistan would be to hold fresh elections under UN peace force.

Month of September also marks fourth anniversary of the cruel attack on a church at Peshawar. Since then, VOP has been providing free of cost armed security guards at churches all over Pakistan. VOP has been able to provide this service due to highly generous services rendered by Ikram Sehgal meeting total cost in men and material through his private security company. His dedication to this national cause has been highly appreciated by Christian community and clergy both at home and abroad.
