Pakistan is observing Yom-E-Tashakur today, as the Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif declared, in recognition of the response of the armed forces to the recent Indian aggression and the success of the ‘Bunyan-Un-Marsosoos Operation.
A statement from the media wing of the Prime Minister said that the operation delivered a strong and coordinated response demonstrated by Pakistan’s superiority on all fronts. Yom-E-E-Tashakur ceremonies are under the entire country to offer thanks to Allah Almighty, honor the value of military personnel and reaffirm the national unity.
In his statement, the prime minister urged religious citizens and academics to celebrate collective Nawafil (voluntary sentences) and special supplications for the martyrs and veterans who participated in the operation.
He stressed that the nation will never forget the sacrifices of the Armed Forces and affirmed public solidarity with the military.
Pakistan and India with nuclear weapons were on the verge of the large -scale conflict after days of growing tensions, until the president of the United States, Donald Trump, announced that both nations had agreed to “high the immediate and complete fire.”
Soon, Islamabad and New Delhi confirmed the agreement to immediately stop all military activities.
The tensions between the two countries intensified after the April 22 attack in Pahalgam, the Indians illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (Iiojk), who killed 26 people. India blamed the elements based in Pakistan for the assault, but did not provide evidence. Islamabad strongly denied accusations.

On April 23, India closed the Wagah’s border crossing, revoked the Pakistani visas and announced the suspension of the Indo Water Treaty. Pakistan condemned the movement as an “act of war” and replied by sealing Wagah’s border from his side.
The confrontation broke out from May 6 to 7 when India launched her attack against Pakistan, which became the military clash more seriously among the neighbors in decades. Dozens were killed before diplomacy prevailed.
Despite the repeated warnings of the Pakistani government, India, fed by the war rhetoric of its media, continued provocative actions, including frequent drone incursions, which finally led Pakistan to retaliate.
