We need such cooperation of each other in every part of the country” said Dr. Zafar Mahmood while addressing the gathering of Muslims and Christians.
“Muslims and Christians are more than half of the total population of the world and they are spreading all over the world geographically. If they stand for the welfare of each other, it will make a big change for the weaker sections of both communities” he continued.
