Marka-e-Haq (battle of truth) refers to the 19-day military conflict with India, which lasted from April 22 to May 10, 2025.
On May 6 and 7 last year, India launched an unprovoked attack on Pakistan, following an attack on tourists in Jammu and Kashmir, a territory illegally occupied by India.
Pakistan, during the 87-hour conflict, shot down eight Indian fighter jets, including the French-made Rafale, and dozens of drones. The war between the two nuclear-armed nations ended on May 10 with a ceasefire agreement brokered by the United States.
Earlier this week on Thursday, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said Pakistan was “preparing for future war”, while asserting that the country had not underestimated New Delhi but had “placed it [India] “where are they?”
The ISPR Director General made these remarks during a press conference along with Rear Admiral Shifaat Ali Khan and Air Vice Marshal Tariq Ghazi to mark the first anniversary of Marka-e-Haq.
He noted that Pakistan’s army had defeated an enemy “five times bigger than itself” and further described India as a “terrorist state”.
Separately, the Islamabad Traffic Police has issued a notice ahead of an event scheduled to mark the first anniversary of Marka-e-Haq on May 10, 2026.
