The former Head of the State wrote, “I am confident that the Martyrs Day would inspire the leadership of all political parties and civil societies to honour the contributions and sacrifices of the martyrs.”

She also expressed her belief that the Day would encourage everyone to work towards nation-building thereby contributing to fulfill the martyrs’ dreams.
