The University of Karachi (KU) on Friday paid rich tributes to the civilian and armed forces martyrs, who sacrificed their valuable lives, to protect the motherland and also expressed solidarity with the people of Kashmir. A special seminar was arranged to observe Defence Day and Kashmir Solidarity Day at the Arts Auditorium under the theme, 'Karachi University stands with Pakistan armed forces'.
The KU Vice Chancellor Professor Dr Khalid Mahmood Iraqi while addressing the audience expressed that Pakistan military forces and the nation were indispensable and no one could dare to look at us with bad intentions. He said that whole world knows that Pakistan is a peace loving country that does not seek wars but they should also remember that this nation believes in honour and dignity and would not compromise on its defence as not only the armed forces or the government but whole nation is united to protect the motherland's sovereignty.
The KU VC Khalid Iraqi while paying tributes to the mothers and families of the martyrs, observed that he never saw any of them crying after receiving the bodies of their loved ones but always expressed the wish to send other children to the forces to protect the country.
He shared that our brave armed forces have created new chapter of bravery to the war history by defeating the enemies at every front again and again. He mentioned that along with our armed forces, the civilians too, give numerous sacrifices to protect and for the respect and consolidation of the country. He asked the audience not to forget what our elders and armed forces have done to protect the country and said that due to their unmatchable sacrifices we all are living and breathing in independent Pakistan.
