In the unfolding pages of our national chronicle, the events of May 2025 shall endure as a moment of profound significance. Pakistan, confronted once more with unprovoked aggression, responded not with bluster, but with precision, resolve, and a deep-rooted commitment to peace. Through the carefully planned and courageously executed Operation Bunyan Marsus, our valiant Armed Forces demonstrated that while Pakistan does not thirst for war, it shall never permit its sovereignty to be trifled with.
The effectiveness of Pakistan’s response has now echoed across continents. Nations and global observers, many of whom initially dismissed the Indo-Pak conflict as a bilateral matter beyond their immediate concern, have had cause to reassess. Before Pakistan’s resolute reply, these actors stood aloof, declaring with diplomatic detachment that “this is not our issue.” Yet, in the aftermath of our determined stance, their tone has changed. Several have now expressed willingness to serve as arbiters—at an appropriate time and place—recognizing the urgency of de-escalation and the grave consequences of regional instability.
This shift is not accidental; it is the direct result of Pakistan’s measured strength and moral clarity. It underscores a crucial truth; peace does not emerge from passivity, but from principled power tempered with restraint. The world is now compelled to acknowledge that regional peace and global stability are inextricably linked, and Pakistan is not to be sidelined in such matters.
At the heart of this national moment stands our military—disciplined, prepared, and ever-watchful. Their unyielding bravery, matched by their loyalty to the Constitution and the people, fills the soul of the nation with pride. We bow our heads in prayer: May Allah Almighty strengthen the hands of our defenders, shield our land from harm, and guide us to enduring peace.
Let this be known across borders and beyond oceans; Pakistan’s victory is not one of conquest, but of conscience. It is a clarion call that while we are a people of peace, we are not blind to our defence. Dialogue remains our preference, but dignity is our condition.
Long live Pakistan!
