Earlier in a tweet, Major General Asif Ghafoor shared COAS’ message on the birth anniversary of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. “Pakistan’s Armed Forces pay tribute to Father of the Nation on his 141st birthday. His vision of human values, social justice and equality constituted motivation for creation of Pakistan. Following the same, we can keep Pakistan safe and strong: COAS.”
