President Asif Ali Zardari praised the military and law enforcement for making extraordinary sacrifices and stated that Pakistan’s armed forces were prepared to make any sort of sacrifice as Pakistan Day celebrations got began on Sunday.
This day honors the Lahore Resolution, which was passed on March 23, 1940, and the first Pakistani Constitution, which was adopted on March 23, 1956.
President Zardari made the following statement during a Pakistan Day military parade at Aiwan-i-Sadr: “Pakistan is facing geo-political challenges, while their brave armed forces, with the support of the nation, have been giving unprecedented sacrifices.”
According to the Pakistani Associated Press, he claimed that India had consistently attempted to paint Pakistan in a negative light while Khawarij and other terrorist organizations sought to carry out their nefarious plans.
But he also said that the country and its military were united and would stop their evil plans.
The president claimed that fifth-generation warfare had become difficult and that Pakistan was capable of overcoming obstacles.
He emphasized the necessity of bolstering economic areas, notably agriculture, and bolstering defense. He referred to the youth as a “national asset” and emphasized the importance of providing them with the most up-to-date technological skills and research-based education.
The president stated that maintaining stability and peace was the cornerstone of Pakistan’s foreign policy and that the nation aspired to forge close bonds with its neighbors and the global community founded on respect for one another and a common desire for progress.
He underlined Pakistan’s support for the “Kashmiri brethren and sisters who had been bracing Indian atrocities” and promised to keep advocating for the Kashmiris’ right to self-determination in all international fora.
Additionally, he called on all provincial administrations to prioritize social welfare programs.
President Zardari, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Speaker of the National Assembly Sardar Ayaz Sadiq, Senate Chairman Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani, three heads of services, senior military officials, federal ministers, lawmakers, and diplomatic corps members were all present at the military parade.
The national anthem officially opened the ceremony in Islamabad. During the ceremony, Pakistan Air Force fighter jets flew by.
According to state-run Radio Pakistan, President Zardari had urged all Pakistanis to put aside their differences, reject negativity and division, and cooperate in order to create a successful, inclusive, and just Pakistan in his previous address to the country.
“The same spirit that led to the creation of Pakistan can propel us toward a brighter tomorrow,” he remarked, congratulating the entire country.
According to the president, the path ahead is difficult but not insurmountable. He went on to say that the people of Pakistan are the country’s real strength because of their tenacity, diligence, and patriotism, which have seen it through the most trying periods.
President Zardari emphasized that Pakistan needs to address economic constraints, negotiate complicated realities, and pursue sustainable growth in the modern world.
In honor of their services, excellence, and sacrifices in their various sectors, 104 Pakistanis and foreigners were given national awards on Pakistan’s 78th Independence Day last year, which President Zardari is scheduled to present today.
The message from the PM:
In the meantime, Pakistan may attain economic success, maintain social fairness, and establish its legitimate position among the world’s nations with the correct policies, committed efforts, and national unity, according to Prime Minister Shehbaz.
According to him, this day marks a turning point in the history of Muslims in South Asia.
He said they envisioned a state where Muslims could live with freedom, dignity, and self-respect — a place molded by their ideals and aspirations — under the inspirational leadership of Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
According to him, this year’s Pakistan Day falls during Ramadan, a time for introspection, self-control, and a renewed dedication to one’s beliefs.
According to the premier, it is a period that strengthens our unity and acts as a potent reminder of the virtues of selflessness and tenacity, which are ingrained in the very fabric of our country.
“We pay tribute to and honor the unwavering and courageous efforts, vision, and determination of our ancestors that resulted in the establishment of an independent Pakistan,” stated Ishaq Dar, the deputy prime minister and foreign minister.
Through countless sacrifices, we have created the identity of Pakistan. We promise to protect and defend it as a one nation. In a statement published on X by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he was cited as stating, “I encourage my fellow Pakistanis to succeed wherever they may be; your accomplishments reflect Pakistan’s accomplishments.”
“We should also commemorate the hardship and extraordinary sacrifices made by our Kashmiri kin in their pursuit of the unalienable right to self-determination,” he remarked.
Along with thanking Pakistanis residing overseas, the foreign minister praised their patriotism.
The nation’s armed forces continue to advance under the aegis of democracy:
In the meantime, the services chiefs and General Sahir Shamshad Mirza, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee (CJCSC), referred to March 23, 1940, as a “defining moment” in Pakistani history.
“By the grace of Almighty Allah, our nation continues to progress under the banner of democracy, upholding the eternal principles of Islam,” the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement.
The armed services congratulated the country on the 85th anniversary of Pakistan Day, saying it “set the course for the creation of an independent homeland and crystallized our collective vision.”
“Pakistan is resolute in strengthening its democratic institutions and protecting the welfare of its citizens with unwavering determination and divine guidance,” the statement said.
“This occasion embodies the unwavering resolve of the Pakistani people, as it is grounded in faith, guided by hope, and strengthened by resilience,” the statement said.
The military reiterated their “unwavering commitment to upholding the sovereignty of our beloved motherland and protecting our sacred frontiers.”
They pointed out that Pakistan promoted peace, stability, and collaboration and was a responsible and determined member of the international community.
In order to keep Pakistan a global symbol of harmony, we will keep defending and upholding the peace that characterizes our country. Pakistan is a symbol of peace, and we will do everything in our power to protect it, insha’Allah.
“Pakistan Armed Forces Zindabad” and “Pakistan Paindabad” were the final words of the message.
