It’s ‘Defence & Martyrs Day’ today. Let’s visit homes of our martyrs. Let’s salute them and their great families. Let’s thank them for their great sacrifices for our country. Great nations never forget their martyrs; we are a great nation.#WeLovePakistan
COAS and Mrs COAS visited family of Shaheed Police Sub Inspector Abbas at his home. Lauded their great sacrifice for the nation and that of all Martyrs of Pakistan. “There isn’t any other sacrifice greater than one’s life. Our lives are dedicated to Pakistan”, COAS.@RwpPolicepic.twitter.com/7XQy0PcIX8
Former Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director, Major General Asim Bajwa, visits the families of martyrs in Quetta: “We Salute our heroes and their loved ones, for their spirits are indomitable”.
The observance of Defence & Martyrs Day is a reiteration of our message to all enemies: That the entire Pakistani nation and Armed Forces will spare no effort to protect the Motherland.
Furthermore, God Willing; we all collectively will face our problems by following the Quaid’s principles of Faith, Unity and Discipline: Lets play our role with diligence and devotion for the progress of our country.
This year is quite unique because the Armed Forces of Pakistan, keeping in view their magnificent tradition, have achieved standout achievements in the war against terrorism, which provided further stability to the motherland: We will continue this struggle until its logical end.
The We Love Pakistan programme represented the true spirit and ambition of our nation: Defence Day is not just limited to only 6th September, but its real spirit is alive throughout the year…
We salute and offer devotion to our Shuhada (martyrs) and Ghazis (freedom fighters) who performed their duty in defending the motherland: Whose sterling efforts are not only appreciated on the battlefield, but in the areas of overall national development, strengthening of democracy, for peace and stability in the region.
Pakistan believes in peaceful coexistence and mutual cooperation with all its neighbours, and the entire world on equal basis. But the international community must play their role to stop Indian aggression and cruelty in occupied Kashmir, and its imperative that outstanding UN resolutions with regards to Kashmir be implemented as a matter or urgency.
We pay tribute to all the martyrs, Ghazis, their families and relatives, and assure them that the government will do our utmost for their welfare.
Long Live the Armed Forces of Pakistan, Long Live Pakistan.
In 1180 AD, no one imagined that Saladin would unite the Muslims to liberate Al-Quds Jerusalem from Judeo-European occupation.
In 1967, no one imagined that the Pakistani Air Force (PAF) would conduct an emergency intervention against the illegitimate state of Israel: Score a 10-0 enemy kill rate against the Israeli Air Force (IAF) and compel Jewry to retreat in the ‘Six Day War’ (which only lasted six days, becasue Zionists lost the will to press on without air support).
No analyst, politician, philosopher or journalist believed that either of the aforementioned events could take place, and yet they happened.
Similarly today, some people doubt that Pakistan will play a major role in liberating Palestine and Kashmir: But Pakistan leading the liberation of Palestine and Kashmir, is far more likely a scenario, than the arrival of Saladin or the PAF knocking out the IAF ever were.
Pakistan is a story of providence and perseverance, of struggle and victory against all odds. Today is Pakistan’s Defence Day: Where we honour the martyrs, serving officers and veterans of the armed forces, Inter-Services Intelligence and strategic assets. Pakistanis remember the honourable heroes and heroines of struggles gone by, and look forward to the battles ahead.

Many Tribes, One People
Types of Pakistani: Kashmiris, Pasthuns, Punjabis, Jaats, Hazara, Sindhis, Burusho, Multanis, Balochis and, of course, those heroes and heroines who risked life & limb to emigrate from India.
Distinct and headstrong people; each with their own set of codes & practices. But when united under the banner of Islam: These clans no longer see themselves as separate groups, but as one people, one nation: The Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
Put all these clans together, and you have what amounts to the finest armed forces the world has ever seen. So ever onward: Forward march to Srinagar. Forward march to Jerusalem. Long Live Pakistan: Pakistan Zindabad.
“What the Muslim League has done is to set you free from the reactionary elements of Muslims and to create the opinion that those who play their selfish game are traitors. It has certainly freed you from that undesirable element of Molvis and Maulanas. I am not speaking of Molvis as a whole class. There are those who are as patriotic and sincere as any other, but there is a section of them which is undesirable. Having freed ourselves from the clutches of the British Government, the Congress, the reactionaries and so-called Molvis, may I appeal to the youth to emancipate our women. This is essential. I do not mean that we are to ape the evils of the West. What I mean is that they must share our life not only social but also political.”
