Alhumdulillah- 19 years since I first got arrested in PTI rally in front of Nasir Bagh. Then went through the @ISFPakistan nursery. Thank you my Leader for trusting me with this responsibility. May Allah help me achieve all the targets. Special thanks to my lawyers community pic.twitter.com/bGPUAsFLe5
