آج عامر لیاقت مرحوم کی پہلی برسی ہے ایک سال گزر گیا یہ دکھ اب بھی اتنا ہی تازہ ہے جیسے 9 جون 2022 کو تھا۔ ان کی تکلیف اور اذیت کے ذمہ داران کو سزا ملے یہ کڑی کوشش اب بھی جاری ہے اور جاری رہے گی جب تک عامر کو انصاف نہیں مل جاتا۔ سب سے بڑی عدالت کا سامنا تو باقی ہے۔#AamirLiaquat pic.twitter.com/IzmYvUS3jT

Talking about how Hussain suffered from depression due to what was happening in his life before his death, Bushra requested everyone to pray for the departed soul.
“May Allah reward him manifold for all his good deeds,” he prayed.
آپ سب سے درخواست ہے ایک بار محبت سے درود شریف پڑھ کر سورۃ فاتحہ اور دعاۓ مغفرت فرمادیجیے گا۔ آپ سب کی محبت اور دعا ان کے نام کو قائم رکھیں گے۔ اللہ پاک ان کے تمام اچھے کام اور نیکیوں کا کئی گنا اجر عطا فرماۓ اور ان کی قبر کو جنت کے باغوں میں سے ایک باغ بنا دے آمین۔#AamirLiaquat pic.twitter.com/wqmkawEslj
