RAWALPINDI<\/strong>: Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) and Chief of the Army Staff Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir will lead a ceremony at the General Headquarters (GHQ) in Rawalpindi on Sunday morning to mark the completion of one year since last year’s victory against India in May 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The term \u201cMarka-e-Haq\u201d refers to the 2025 conflict with India, which began with the April 22 Pahalgam attack and concluded with a ceasefire on May 10 following Operation Bunyanum Marsoos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

State-run Radio Pakistan reported that CDF Munir will be the chief guest at the ceremony, which will also be attended by Chief of Air Staff Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmed Baber Sidhu and Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Naveed Ashraf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A wreath will be laid at the martyrs’ monument, followed by a salute presented by contingents of the three armed forces. CDF Munir will also deliver an address on the occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, President Asif Ali Zardari paid tribute to the nation and the armed forces on the first anniversary of Marka-e-Haq.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a statement issued by the President\u2019s Office, the president said CDF Munir\u2019s leadership, strategy and \u201ccourageous decisions\u201d were key to the success of Marka-e-Haq.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also lauded the air chief and the Pakistan Air Force for their \u201cexceptional skill and professionalism\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Zardari praised the naval chief and forces, describing their full operational readiness and defence capabilities as a source of national pride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPakistan is a responsible and peace-loving state. By giving a strong but measured response to enemy aggression, we have conveyed our defensive capability to the world,\u201d the president said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said the issue of Jammu and Kashmir must be resolved in accordance with United Nations resolutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPakistan will continue its moral, political and diplomatic support for the Kashmiri people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terming India\u2019s attempt to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty as \u201cwater aggression\u201d, he said water was a matter of life for millions of Pakistanis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turning to cross-border terrorism from Afghanistan, he said Kabul must ensure its territory was not used for terrorism against Pakistan or other countries in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said terrorism backed by external support must be eliminated for lasting peace in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The president said Pakistan was emerging as a symbol of balance and stability in the region due to the efforts of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and CDF Munir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that Pakistan\u2019s diplomatic efforts for a peaceful resolution of the Iran\u2013US conflict had been widely appreciated at the global level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPakistan\u2019s nation and armed forces are fully prepared to face every challenge and defend the homeland,\u201d President Zardari said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
