The president while addressing the audience encouraged them
to give back to the society, explaining that terror victims need the funds at
the moment.

with cheques, cash, online with credit cards, or via your mobile phone. Every
widow’s mite will be appreciated. We cannot deviate from the spirit of good

uniting us as they are enemies of all,” he said.
