In his speech, Sheikh Dawud Azare described martyrs as servants of Allah who were specially chosen by Allah (The Most High) so as to elevate their status in the hereafter.
According to him, "These martyrs wholeheartedly sacrificed their blood for the course of this Movement, therefore, their families deserved all rights to be taken care of after them".
