Transiting from PESA to Veterans of Pakistan has been a memorable, challenging and arduous experience. We pay homage to late Admiral Fasih Bokhari, our first President who with his affable nature kept us together while granting every member full freedom and opportunity to genuinely participate in accomplishing our goals, ably assisted and supported by Brig Mian Mahmood, Air Chief Marshal Kaleem Sadaat & other notables. VOP did a commendable job in some areas including former FATA, towards provision of potable water and allied facilities including rations & house hold goods in times of crises. We remain determined to continue looking after genuine interests of retired personnel and families of our martyrs, through employing all available means. May Allah kareem guide us and grant due strength in achieving our aims including upholding and guarding supremacy of constitution of Pakistan.

Sovereignty is a precious thing, but only those born in the 1930s, who witnessed Pakistan emerge as a proud nation but also saw it wither away into oblivion soon after the father of the nation died, will mourn for what they lost and know what is at stake. Today’s youth deserved a better Pakistan. Sadly, our generation stumbled and failed to ensure it. Going forward, the power to change lies with the young generation. Only through stoking the fire in their heart can they show power and demand their dignity and sovereignty back in a mighty blitzkrieg.
