The ceremony was attended by the Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee, the Services Chiefs, members of the federal cabinet, foreign diplomats, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defense, Minister of Information and other ministers.
On this occasion, warplanes demonstrated their performance in the air, upon which the participants of the ceremony raised slogans of Pakistan Zindabad.
Addressing the ceremony, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said that I salute the dear homeland and the great parents of the great martyrs who laid down their lives, families, federal ministers, Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff General Shamshad Sahir Mirza, Chief of Army Staff General Syed Asim Munir, Naval Chief Admiral Naveed Ashraf, Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmed Babar, general officers, government officers and esteemed diplomats.
He said that today, our highly respected journalists, sisters and brothers are present in this gathering, renowned artists of Pakistan are present and highly respected Ghazis of Pakistan are also present here.
Prime Minister Shehbaz said that today is a day of gratitude, this day is met by some in the history of the world and is met after centuries, it is the grace of Allah Almighty that a heartbreaking incident took place about 50 years ago today.
The Prime Minister said that the enemy has rejected our sincere offer in which we had said that we would form an international investigation committee that would tell the world the facts after a complete investigation, but the enemy, in a very arrogant and arrogant manner, attacked Pakistan and martyred innocent Pakistanis, including a six-year-old child, mothers, sisters, elders and youth. The enemy gave the message that we can go inside Pakistan and attack.
He further said that we shot down six enemy planes, which was considered a police station in South Asia, and believed that Pakistan had no status in front of it. The same Pakistani falcons also shot down their Rafales, MiGs and Rafales, and showed such a nightmare that they will not be able to get out of this dream until the day of judgment, but despite this, the enemy continued to threaten, and then on the night of May 9, we decided that we will respond.
The Prime Minister said that after this, General Asim Munir told me that we will give the enemy such a slap in the face that he will remember for the rest of his life, and then you saw how our Shaheens and Al-Fath missiles attacked Pathankot, Udhampur and other places and the enemy was not finding a place to hide his head.
Shahbaz Sharif said that the way our Air Chief and his Shaheens used the technology developed in the country with Chinese aircraft shocked the world and the confidence of friends started talking to the sky. From America to Japan and everywhere today, there is talk about how Pakistan’s forces quietly acquired this capability.
The Prime Minister said that India was convincing the world day and night that its economy was worth trillions of dollars, and had spent billions of dollars on weapons and that it should be recognized as the king of the region, but Allah Almighty had something else in mind, and Allah Almighty gave this great victory to Pakistan for which we are celebrating Youme-i-Tashakur in such a way that the heads of the entire nation are bowed before the Almighty.
He said that Allah Almighty has given Pakistan that position today, now no big power can stop our path, today the entire nation is united and stands with the armed forces, I believe that today is the time to begin the journey for which Pakistan came into existence.
He said that now we have to move forward, and if we make national unity the capital of life, not only will the losses of the past be remedied, but very soon Pakistan will gain its rightful place in the world of nations.
He said that now we have to realize the objective of May 10 in the economic field, the nation is ready, we have to work day and night, Allah Almighty has blessed Pakistan with endless resources and brilliant minds, there is no shortage of anything, if we become determined, Pakistan will soon come out ahead in the world race, God willing.
The Prime Minister said that I would like to thank all the ambassadors who stood by Pakistan’s position in response to India’s baseless propaganda against Pakistan on the Pahalgam incident, and I would also like to thank all the friendly countries who played a role in promoting peace in this region in the form of a ceasefire.
He said that I am grateful to President Donald Trump for his courageous leadership and his vision for establishing peace in South Asia. As a result of his efforts, the threat of a horrific war in this region of the world was averted. God forbid, if the war had escalated and reached nuclear weapons, imagine who out of 1.6 billion people would have survived to tell what happened. The Prime Minister said that by the grace and mercy of Allah Almighty, we won the war, but we want peace, we have taught our enemy a lesson, but we condemn aggression.
