Rawalpindi (Agencies): Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa on Sunday paid tribute to the mothers of martyrs on Mother's Day.
In his message, COAS said, "Salute to such mothers who sacrificed their sons as brave soldiers for Pakistan."
The COAS further said that the progress, Pakistan has made is due to the mothers of this nation.
The army chief also honoured the nation's military mothers for their unwavering dedication and support for strengthening the entire nation. “Defeat is impossible with such high-spirited mothers in existence,” the Army chief said.
Mother is not just a physical entity. If so, their departure to heaven would’ve been an end to the relationship. Mother is name of an eternal feeling of love, care, security and selflessness.
