PESHAWAR, Oct 3: Students and staff members of Government Degree College Gulabad, Lower Dir district on Wednesday pledged to defend their motherland from foreign aggression.

This they resolved at a meeting held here to observe the Solidarity Day.

The teachers and students delivered speeches at the meeting presided over by the principal Aurangzeb Khan.

Those who spoke on the occasion included Prof Fazal Ghani, a second-year student Abdul Qayyum, Sharifullah, Sher Afzal and Rehayash Shah.

Prof Aurangzeb Khan in his speech spoke about the need of unity and said it was the need of the hour that we should demonstrate complete unity and harmony in our ranks and files and preferred national interests over personal ones.

He said Islam discouraged terrorism in all its forms. He sought students’ help to motivate the people about terrorism.

He said a stable Pakistan could only guarantee their happiness and prosperity. “Pakistan is the citadel of Islam and its defence is our duty. We shall leave no stone unturned for its prosperity and safety,” he added.—APP
