World converted noble Pakistanis into warriors, says Zardari

KARACHI: The federal government was fighting terrorism to give a safer and better Pakistan to the future generations, President Asif Ali Zardari said on Thursday.

The president made these remarks while addressing the signing of the ‘gift of life’ certificate by him for donating all his body organs for deserving patients, at the Bilawal House. Zardari said that the world had converted noble Pakistanis into warriors. Although this chapter was closed now but Pakistan was still trying to adapt to the changed circumstances, the president said. “Those who are pointing fingers at us, my message for them is that we did not create this new format of war. This is not Pakistan-specific and this is not made in our laboratories. Yes, we are guilty of saving the world and you are guilty of forgetting us, your allies,” he added.

Zardari told the audience that Pakistan was going through various turmoils and turbulences. In Swat, the country had handled the world’s largest displacement of 2.5 million people, the president said.

The president called upon the world to consider Pakistanis such as organ transplant surgeon Dr Adib Rizvi, Abdul Sattar Edhi and Benazir Bhutto. He said that Rizvi and Edhi could have made fortunes by adopting other professions. Zardari announced that Pakistan would nominate Rizvi’s name for the Nobel Peace Prize. app
