Pakistan observed Youm-e-Tashakur on Sunday, as declared by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, in recognition of the armed forces’ response to recent Indian aggression and the success of ‘Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos’.
A statement from the Media Wing of the Prime Minister’s Office said the operation delivered a strong and coordinated response that demonstrated Pakistan’s superiority on all fronts. Youm-e-Tashakur ceremonies are underway nationwide to offer thanks to Allah Almighty, honour the valour of military personnel, and reaffirm national unity.
In his statement, the prime minister urged citizens and religious scholars to hold collective Nawafil (voluntary prayers) and special supplications for the martyrs and veterans who took part in the operation.
He emphasised that the nation will never forget the sacrifices of the armed forces and affirmed public solidarity with the military.
