Church of Pakistan leads march backing armed forces

The Church of Pakistan organised a powerful and passionate rally in Lahore to express unwavering solidarity with the valiant Pakistan Armed Forces.

Hundreds of patriotic Christians, including clergy, laypersons, and a large number of women gathered at the Lahore Press Club to raise their voices in unity.

From there, the charged and spirited rally marched through Egerton Road, culminating at Charing Cross, Mall Road, with full zeal and national fervour.

With flags waving high and voices echoing in unison, the participants fervently chanted patriotic slogans in support of our brave defenders.

The rally was a bold and clear message: Pakistan’s minorities stand shoulder to shoulder with the armed forces, ready to defend the nation’s honour and integrity at every front.

This historic event showcased the Christian community’s deep-rooted love for Pakistan and reaffirmed their unwavering commitment to the country's unity, peace, and security.

Earlier, the military assured senior political leaders that Pakistan's armed forces are fully prepared to give a befitting response to the enemy if it dared any aggression against Pakistan, sources said on Sunday after an in-camera briefing to political parties.

The session was arranged by the government, where Information Minister Ata Tarar and Director General of Inter-Service Public Relations (ISPR) Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry briefed the politicians about the ongoing escalation between Pakistan and India following the April 22 Pahalgam attack.

"Pakistan is a peaceful country and desires regional stability," a source quoted the ISPR chief as telling the meeting. "But if aggression is imposed on us, the armed forces are ready to give a befitting reply to the enemy," Gen Chaudhry said.
