May Allah bless their soul. These jawans done excellent work for us to live in liberty and we are proud of their services. I only pray that our opportunistic politicians learn some lesson from these soldiers and give up their bad habit of thievery, lying, double dealing and dishonesty.

These are the true heroes of Pakistan! Giving their lives, so that the rest of us live in peace. I hope their sacrifices will not go unnoticed and our government will provide all the assistance and protection that their families will need in the future. May God continue to bless our brave men and women on the front line and our beloved country!
