He stressed that Pakistanis have immense potential and it is essential for everyone to contribute to societal improvement.
He said that incidents that took place in Jaranwala, Sargodha, and Swat have tarnished Pakistan's image globally.
Condemning terrorism, he said terrorist acts have no place in Islam.
