He said that we must understand the value and respect of our beloved country. He said that Pakistan was the second blessed country where young people were in majority. Prof Niaz Ahmad said that Pakistanis were full of talent and there were abundance of jobs for competent people. He said that if one was not educated, one was just like a blind in the present age.
