Don't let the world to divide you, see what happened to Syrians, Iraqis, and even with Afghans," he said.The minister said youth was country's most precious asset and they should realise their potential and make an impact on social media. The minister said that the state institutions should not be blamed for individual miscalculations and mistakes.

"It is an irony that Islam was the first religion of the world who ensured labour rights but we borrow western ideas to observe Labour Day. Naleson Mandela made a difference despite after reading a book of Muslims. Later, his determination made the world to acknowledge rights of his nation and colonial powers had to bow before African nation," he said.

American blogger and tourist Cynthia D Ritchie said she had extensively travelled across Pakistan and had developed an attachment to Pakistan and its loving people.
