“You have been very peaceful with the battalion here and working very peacefully with other security agencies, especially the Police.
“There is no amount of appreciation that will be enough to those who have paid the supreme prize to protect us.
“I want to appreciate the Chief of Defence Staff who is my good friend for his efforts at keeping the Nation together as one.”
