LAHORE:History bears witness that whenever our sovereignty is threatened, the people of Pakistan rise as one strong, unified, and unshakable.

In the face of recent hostile actions by India, Pakistan has once again demonstrated this indomitable spirit. Despite offering cooperation in investigating the Pahalgam incident, Pakistan was met with indifference by New Delhi.

Instead of pursuing peace, India launched missile strikes aimed at civilian targets acts that Pakistan has rightfully termed 'blatant aggression'. But our defence forces stood vigilant. They not only thwarted these attacks but responded swiftly and decisively, silencing the enemy ''within hours''. India’s recent military venture, Operation Sindoor, targeted nine sites in Pakistan and Azad Kashmir.

This provoked the fiercest fighting in over two decades between the nuclear-armed neighbours. In response, Pakistan launched ''Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos'' meaning Iron Wall and destroyed multiple enemy military installations in a resolute display of military and moral strength. Maulana Mufti Zubair of Jamia Ashrafia told APP that the Quranic and Islamic military traditions honour the dawn attack as a sign of divine favour. Renowned scholar Dr Fakhar-ul-Haq Noori told APP, ‘This country is not just a piece of land, but it is an ideology. It was founded in the name of Islam, and by God’s will, it will always stand for its glory.’ He emphasised that Pakistan is the result of the prayers of saints, the vision of Allama Iqbal, the leadership of Quaid-e-Azam, and the sacrifices of countless martyrs. MNA Sehar Kamran echoed this sentiment, stating, ‘Our people, armed forces, and ideology are once again united. This triangle of unity, faith, and sacrifice is unbreakable. No amount of enemy weaponry or strategy can shake this foundation. Pakistan will not only survive it will rise as a lasting lesson to the aggressor.’
