MY YOUNG FRIENDS I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUTH THE REAL MAKERS OF PAKISTAN. DO NOT BE EXPLOITED AND DO NOT BE MISLED. CREATE AMONGST YOURSELVES COMPLETE UNITY AND SOLIDARITY. SET AN EXAMPLE FOR WHAT YOUTH CAN DO. YOUR MAIN OCCUPATION SHOULD BE IN FAIRNESS TO YOURSELF IN FAIRNESS TO YOUR PARENTS IN FAIRNESS TO THE STATE TO DEVOTE YOUR ATTENTION TO YOUR STUDIES.
