Karachi:
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif praised Pakistan’s Navy for his preparation and professionalism, stating that naval forces were fully prepared to launch an operation similar to the historic Dwarka operation. However, the Navy of India avoided the confrontation after witnessing the appropriate land response and the Pakistan air forces.
Prime Minister Shehbaz arrived in Karachi on Monday for a day visit and visited the shipyard of the Pakistan Navy, where he met with naval and personal officers.
“The Indian army, after facing setbacks on land and air, was not ready to face our naval forces. Otherwise, Pakistan’s Navy would have revived the memories of Operation Dwarka,” the prime minister told officers and sailors.
“During Indian misadventure, the world saw that our Navy was fully prepared. Naval weapons had been deployed, and the Pakistan navy was once smarter, as in 1965, for Dwarka,” he added.
The Dwarka Operation remains a historical achievement in the history of the Pakistan Navy. On the night of September 8, 1965, the Navy operation executed the Dwarka operation, encoded “Somnath Operation”. Boats, including PNS Babur, Khyber, Badr, Jahangir, Alamgir, Shahjahan and Tipu Sultan, launched a surprise attack on the Indian Naval Base in Dwarka.
The strike, which lasted only four minutes, caused significant damage, burned parts of the base and interrupted the operations of the Indian Navy against Karachi.
The prime minister said that the nation was united during the recent confrontation, calling for harmony between the armed forces of Pakistan as a “golden chapter” in the history of the country.
He praised the performance of the Navy by safeguarding ports and trade routes, adding that modern technology had significantly improved its operational capabilities. “We are proud of the extraordinary performance of the Navy. Its use of modern technology has led its effectiveness to new heights,” he added.
Prime Minister Shehbaz also expressed his gratitude to international allies for their support during high regional tensions. He thanked the Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the Saudi heir prince Mohammed Bin Salman, the president of the EAA, Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed, to Qatari Emir Tamim Bin Hamad, to the president of Azerbaiyani, Ilham Aliyev, and China member of a long time.
He also praised the president of the United States, Donald Trump, for his role in negotiating a fire. “Trump is a man of peace. He played a key role in the arrest of the conflict between two nuclear powers at a critical moment. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for acting as a sincere friend and even offering mediating in Kashmir,” he said.
The prime minister was accompanied by the head of the Army personnel, the general also Munir, the head of the air chief Zaheer Ahmed Babar Sidhu, the head of the Naval Admiral, Naveed Ashraf, the Minister of Defense Khawaja Asif, the Minister of Information Atta Tarar and other senior officials.
