Acting President Sadiq Sanjrani has written a letter to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif drawing his attention towards the establishment of monuments of the martyrs of the nation in the federal and provincial capitals.
He said there were no two opinions on the established fact that their forefathers gave everlasting sacrifices for the creation of the country.
The sacrifices of the martyrs for the stability and integrity of the nation were also memorable, he wrote.
“Martyrs are our heroes and the peace and security in Pakistan is the result of unparalleled sacrifices of our martyrs.”
Sanjrani further said, “As a nation, it is our obligation that we should keep alive the martyrs in the hearts of the people, particularly youth.”
The acting president said the federal and provincial governments should ensure the establishment of martyrs’ monuments at the federal and provincial capitals. The pictures of the martyrs and Pakistani flag should be put up at airports, government buildings, schools, important highways, railway stations and other places.
“Pakistanis and foreigners should know that as a nation we are grateful to our martyrs,” he said adding visits of people from different walks of life particularly students to these monuments would reignite patriotism. This would also keep alive the young generation passion to continue the mission of martyrs, he noted.
He expressed hope that the prime minister would issue instructions in this regard as soon as possible. “This will be a small effort to pay special tribute to our brave and unconquerable martyrs,” he concluded.
