ReplyDeleteThanks, Fatima, for visiting the Blog.
ReplyDeleteWe must uplift 'our poor', 'control' bloodshed, develop land mass fully whatever we already own, cement 'people2people' relationship, and ensure security of our nations.
Let South Asia NOT develop into a war zone enabling 'testing' of weaponry.
This Sub-Continent needs long-deserved peace.
We should gift prosperous and Safe Indo, Pak to our present and future generation(s).
