Pakistan Army spokesman DG ISPR Maj. Gen. Asif Ghafoor has said that national sentiment is very important for defense of the country.
According to reports of Baaghi TV, talking to private TV, DG ISPR Major General Asif Ghafoor has said that the government takes care of the families of the martyrs according to their resources. Families of martyred soldiers are taken care of more than the families of martyred officers. He added, family of a shaheed is a priority of Pakistan Armed forces.
DG ISPR said that the martyrdom of the martyrs is not limited to force only, unfortunately the world has not paid much attention to the issue of Kashmir, there is no country, people and forces like Pakistan. There are more than 81,000 heroes and martyrs, the whole nation made sacrifices in the war against terrorism.
