He reminisced the tragic moment last year and disclosed, “Last year on December 16th early morning, I made a random call to Sir Javed Khattak (Sports Head) at APS, unaware of all APS incident, all I could hear was hue & cry, bullets & bombs, then grievingly he said “Beta terrorists have attacked APS, we are in the  auditorium. Please call someone for rescue”

“Since not even media was aware of the incident at that time, primarily I informed the ISPR HQ,”.

He also informed that he intended to create a foundation to commemorate their sacrifices “With Peshawar Zalmi I vow to make a #PZFoundation, to do my utmost to help them,”.
