Pasrur:
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, while welcoming the recent military triumph over India as a “historical victory”, praised the armed forces on Wednesday for “avengeing the 1971 war” during Operation Bunyan-Un-Marshus.
Accompanied by the maximum military brass, including the general head of the Army, Munir, the head of the Air Marshal Zaheer Ahmed Babar Sidhu, and his cabinet ministers, the prime minister visited Pasrur Cantt in Sialkot to congratulate the exceptional courage and the professionalism of the troops during the decisive battle against India.
Sharif paid tribute to the value, professionalism and unwavering resolution of the Armed Forces.
When taking an excavation to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Sharif said that the world knows who trained Mukti Bahini in 1971. “Today, the same link is seen in support of groups such as Bla and TTP, and takes back to Modi.”
He warned that Pakistan’s red lines, especially with respect to the Treaty of the Water of the Indo (IWT), should not be crossed. “If you dare to stop our water, remember this: water and blood will not flow together,” he added to the Indian leader.
The prime minister accused Modi of sponsoring acts of terrorism in Pakistan, including the alleged participation in the attack and disturbances of Samjhauta Express in Baluchistan.
“Mr. Modi, who trained Mukti Bahini and lit the fire of the division in East Pakistan, should not give us a conference on terrorism,” Sharif added. “We have suffered more than 90,000 civil victims and $ 150 billion in economic losses due to terrorism.”
He reiterated that peace and development are Pakistan’s main objectives. “We seek peace, but this should never be misunderstood as weakness,” he said. “We are ready for peace, and we are ready for war. The choice is yours.”
While opening the door to future conversations with India, the prime minister emphasized that no dialogue could be unilateral. “There will be no trade with India unless it is part of a comprehensive dialogue. Kashmiro remains unsolved according to the resolutions of the UN Security Council, and this must be addressed.”
Referring to Operation Bunyan-Un-Marsososoos, Prime Minister Sharif described him as a story of “Courage and Value” that promised to document in his autobiography.
“Our soldiers gave the enemy an adequate response,” he said, highlighting that a single inch of territory was not yielded despite the difficult conditions. “The body commander told me how our brave men remained firm and repelled the enemy in an unfavorable situation.”
He applauded the “extraordinary effort” of the Pakistan Air Force to neutralize enemy combat planes, saying that it was a practical demonstration of Pakistan’s advanced military capabilities. “The world now recognizes the supremacy of Pakistan not only in conventional technical warfare but also,” he added.
The prime minister thanked military leadership for his meticulous planning and coordination during the conflict. “Personally, I witnessed the efforts of the general also Munir, whose aggressive and tactical leadership changed the course. The head of air Zaheer Babar informed me regularly about the technological advantage that our Air Force has, which was evident on May 9 and 10.”
He said that the recent military performance had become a source of pride for friendly countries and that military experts studied for years. “The leadership of our armed forces has become venerated. I am proud of them and the nation supports as a rock.”
He recalled his previous speech at the Military Academy of Pakistan Kakul, where he invited India to allow a transparent international commission to investigate the alleged terrorist incident in Pahalgam, only to receive what he called a “assault night attack” in response.
“We are also eliminating terrorism on our western border,” he added. “If you attack us again, what you have left will be destroyed.”
Concluding his speech, Prime Minister reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to peace and development, but warned that any additional aggression would fulfill an overwhelming response. “The lesson for the Modi regime is this: our armed forces exercised restriction not for fear, but discipline. We are ready for whatever comes. Pakistan will continue to thrive until the day of judgment.”
He ended with a call to Indian leadership to act sincerely for the good of regional peace. “Stop deceiving your people. Come to the table honestly, or face the consequences of your arrogance.”
