\n
On this Defence and Martyrs\u2019 Day, we pay homage to our Ghazis and Shuhada, who rendered immense sacrifices and bravely defended the country against external aggression. This day is a reminder of our Nation’s unwavering commitment and determination to defend its sovereignty. I pay homage to the brave sons of the soil who shattered the enemy\u2019s dreams to harm Pakistan.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Our Armed Forces are vigilant and ever-ready to respond to any challenge to national sovereignty and territorial integrity. They are provided with adequate defence equipment and possess the desired professional skills and the will to protect the country from all challenges. We seek peace and stability in the region and are committed to peaceful coexistence with all neighbours. However, enduring peace is only possible when the plight of the Kashmiri people is alleviated. They bear illegal subjugation and a continuous reign of terror by the Indian Armed Forces over the unfinished agenda of the partition of the sub-continent. The revocation of the autonomous status of IIOJK has further compounded the problem. India must adhere to the UN Security Council\u2019s resolutions that guarantee the Kashmiri people\u2019s right to self-determination.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Today, Pakistan is facing many threats and security challenges and hostile countries are bent upon harming Pakistan by supporting anti-Pakistan elements to carry out terror activities in the country. In the face of these challenges, our Armed Forces and Law Enforcement Agencies are fully prepared to defeat terrorists. We stand behind our security forces to stamp out the menace of terrorism.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
On this day, we commemorate the will, determination, sense of patriotism and spirit of our valiant sons while the nation commits its unwavering support to the Armed Forces in the fulfilment of the sacred task of defending the country. May Allah protect Pakistan and guide us on the path to peace and prosperity.<\/div>\n
