MIRPURKHAS: Spiritual leader of Hur Jamaat, 8th Pir Pagara Sibghatullah Shah Rashdi-III has exhorted his disciples to stand by Pakistan Army and strengthen the country, which is passing through a precarious stage in its history.

He told media persons after speaking to thousands of disciples at Faqeer Fateh Ali Rajar village, Girhor Shareef union council in Sindhri taluka, on Sunday that the countries where military was weak were exposed to instability and disturbances.
