A special ceremony to mark the first anniversary of Marka-e-Haq’s victory is being held at the Pakistan Memorial in Islamabad, which will be attended by the country’s top civil and military leaders.
Participants of the event include President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Chief of Army Staff (COAS) and Chief of Defense Forces (CDF) Field Marshal Asim Munir, among others.
Aircraft of Pakistan Air Force will perform an air show while a laser show will also be held during the event to be held at Shakarparian.
The event is part of multi-day celebrations taking place across the country, marking Pakistan’s decisive victory over India in May last year.
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.
