On Friday, the country observed its 59th Defense Day in remembrance of the patriots who lost their lives fighting India in 1965. Major locations, like as Allama Iqbal’s in Lahore and the Quaid’s mausoleum in Karachi, experienced a shift of guards.
“It was on this day in 1965 the Indian forces crossed international border in the darkness of night to attack Pakistan, but the nation foiled nefarious designs of the enemy,” claims state-run Radio Pakistan.
The Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee, Services Chiefs, and Armed Forces stated the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) stating that they “proudly commemorate the triumphant legacy of the 1965 War” and that it was “a paradigm of the nation’s indomitable will.”
“This day is a moving remembrance of the bravery, selflessness, and bravery of our courageous soldiers who bravely protected the homeland in the face of overwhelming adversity,” the ISPR statement read. The Pakistani Armed Forces decisively blocked the enemy’s evil plans fifty-nine years ago, securing a historic victory that will live on forever in the annals of history. The nation’s resiliency and resolve in the face of hardship were demonstrated throughout the 1965 War, which served as a ray of hope.
“We offer our sincere condolences to the Pakistani martyrs who have given their lives in the fight against terrorism since 1947, particularly to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.” Their sacrifices will always be remembered. The media wing of the armed forces also honored the veterans who “fought valiantly,” promising that “their bravery and selflessness will always be remembered.”
According to the statement, “The Pakistan Armed Forces reaffirm their unwavering commitment to defend the country against all threats and challenges.” “We, in conjunction with Law Enforcement Agencies, are prepared to fiercely and resolutely protect our country, maintaining the principles of September 1965.” In addition, we honor the families of all of our victims and veterans who bravely and resolutely endured the weight of their loved ones’ sacrifices.
“Paying respect to the sacrifices.”
The nation as a whole honors the sacrifices made by our warriors and martyrs, as well as all those who have bravely fought, according to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. “Let us use the lessons learned from our shuhada and ghazis to defend and rebuild Pakistan with the same Spirit of September,” he remarked. “By adhering to the principles of honesty, decency, and compassion, we can follow the path of our beloved Quaid, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, and steer the country toward a better future.”
Presidency Asif Ali Zardari, meanwhile, declared that he wished to honor the military personnel who “against external aggression and made great sacrifices” on this day. He stated in a message posted on the PPP website, “Today serves as a reminder of our steadfast national commitment to safeguard our sovereignty.”
He declared, “Our armed forces are vigilant and ready to respond to any challenge to national integrity and sovereignty.” “Our forces are dedicated to defending the nation from all threats, have the necessary professional skills, and are outfitted with adequate defense equipment.”
