Message from the Prime Minister of Islamic Republic of Pakistan, @ImranKhanPTI, on the Defence Day of Pakistan.

#DefenceDay

6 September is a day in Pakistan’s glorious history that is commemorated as a symbol of courage, strong will and unmatched spirit of sacrifice by our gallant armed forces.

Together with the brave Pakistani nation, our officers, soldiers, sailors and airmen proved to the world, on this day, 55 years ago, that they are ever ready to defend every inch of the motherland no matter whatever the cost.

The nation and the men in uniform proved that it is not the size that matters, but it is the courage and devotion that matters the most.

With the abrogation of Articles 370 & 35-A, India has not only violated the @UN Charter but has also unleashed a reign of terror on innocent Kashmiris.

Indians are also showing aggressive posture on the Line of Control and such provocations are aimed at diverting the world attention from Indian atrocities in IIOJK.

Pakistan is for peace but this must not be misconstrued as our weakness; the world understands that our desire for peace is for the economic wellbeing & prosperity of the people of this region. We need to work together for peace and a brighter future for the coming generations.

The resilient nation and the battle hardened Armed Forces of Pakistan have time and again proved that they are fully capable of defending the country and are fully prepared to meet any kind of eventuality.

On this 6 September, let’s pay homage to our Shuhada & Ghazis, and pledge anew to defend Pakistan, safeguard its security & sovereignty at all costs with the same undaunted courage, and unconquerable & indomitable spirit as was displayed by the Shuhada & Ghazis of the 1965 war.
