Sampling out corruption is a very tough job, but I say so in all seriousness that we would be failing in our duty if we do not tackle this problem seriously and with determination.

Among the major tasks before us none is of greater importance for our strength and stability than the task of building up the unity and solidarity of our people.

The rule of law should be respected so that the basic structure of our democracy is maintained and further strengthened.

That loyalty to the country comes ahead of all other loyalties. And this is an absolute loyalty, since one cannot weight it in terms of what one receives.

Those who govern must see how the people react to administration. Ultimately, the people are the final arbiters.

The preservation of freedom, is not the task of soldiers alone. The whole nation has to be strong.

If Pakistan has any ideas of annexing any part of our territories by force, she should think afresh. I want to state categorically that force will be met with force and aggression against us will never be allowed to succeed.
