Comments by different walks of life

Syed Mamood Shah (On Facebook):

This is a great honor for our family & such a positive way to tribute to a great man. There are million of Tehseel dars but his sympathies & devotions to people make him really a devoted person as well as we cannot compare with other simila...r positions. I have really a great respect for him because he was a brave person & had a dominated personality which is the symbol of our family. I appreciate to Mr. Ahmed to cover his father personality. We must keep alive our family history. Our rest of family personalities had only served for their own but not for our whole family.
