Sindh Assembly unites in tribute to armed forces' victory

KARACHI:

The Sindh Assembly on Friday unanimously passed a significant resolution on the occasion of Yaum-e-Tashakkur, marking the Pakistan Armed Forces' victory over India.

The resolution was presented by Health Minister Dr Azra Fazal Pechuho and paid tribute to the determination and sacrifices of the Pakistan Army, its martyrs, and the nation.

It expressed gratitude to Allah Almighty for granting victory to the people and their armed forces. It also acknowledged the support of countries that stood by Pakistan in difficult times and condemned India for persistently violating United Nations resolutions and international laws.

Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah said that whenever the homeland is threatened, the people of Pakistan and its armed forces unite to respond strongly.

According to him, five Indian fighter jets and 85 Israeli-made drones were shot down. He paid tribute to Mukhtar Leghari from Ghotki, the first martyr in the conflict.

He further revealed that attacks on Noor Khan Airbase and Sukkur preceded the launch of Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos at 5am. Pakistani forces reportedly targeted 26 enemy locations, including Udhampur, Pathankot, Ambala, and Jalandhar.

Opposition Leader Ali Khurshidi said that Pakistan had dealt India a crushing defeat within hours. He praised the professionalism of the Pakistan Army and the unmatched spirit of the people.

Education Minister Sardar Ali Shah criticised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying he had pushed India toward destruction by dragging it into war. Jamaat-e-Islami's parliamentary leader Muhammad Farooq said the victory reflected divine unity among Pakistanis and expressed hope that India would now be compelled to speak with Pakistan respectfully.
