It gives me great pleasure to learn of your amazing accomplishment in the marketing of tobacco and other consumer products. A very few business houses in Pakistan can claim a distinction of 100 years of operations in spite of many political and economic ups and down in the history of subcontinent. It is with this great satisfaction that I extend my heartfelt congratulations to your house on this auspicious occasion. Your stability throughout the years is a great source of satisfaction also to the Government of Pakistan who has always encouraged such private sector stability and enterprise.
