Pakistan and Kashmir are siamese twins and I pray to Almighty Allah to grant freedom to the Kashmiris as soon as possible, he said.

He reiterated that we all will work hard to make Pakistan strong and prosperous and every individual will perform its duties honestly. The democracy will be more strengthened in future while the economy and defence sectors will also be stronger and impregnable, the CM added.
