Sir: We as a nation have been a victim of poverty, unemployment, Water crisis, corruption and political instability. There has been quite a lot of disappointment and distress because of the Chaos, uncertainty and problems of recent years. However there are a plenty of reasons to be proud as a Pakistani. Like our army, which is currently ranked as the sixth strongest military in the world. We are among the few nations in the world who is a declared nuclear power. Another truth is that, the first female Prime Minister from the Muslim world was from Pakistan, yes! Benazir Bhutto. We have been blessed with people like Abdul Sattar edhi who spent his entire life to serve humanity. We have been blessed with the brilliance of Doctor Abdus Salam. Arfa Karim was among us. Malala Yousafzai is among us, we have been blessed with fantastic singers and cricketers. The land of Pakistan is filled with patriotic, talented, competitive and diligent people who have proved their worth in every platform they face. So it is due to the unwavering spirit of the people that the candle of hope is still Burning Bright FARDEEN JAWED Via Email Published in Daily Times, October 24th 2018.
