Enemy Brought to Its Knees: PM Shehbaz Commends Pakistan’s Military Might

ISLAMABAD-(Mudassar Iqbal)-Addressing the nation, PM Shehbaz said that Pakistan made a deliberate decision to respond to Indian aggression in the language it understands — with force.

“Within hours, our armed forces silenced the enemy’s guns in a manner that history will remember,” he said.

He noted that the sight of Indian airbases turning into rubble was a direct consequence of Pakistan’s resolute retaliation. “The blood of our brave soldiers boils at the enemy’s nefarious intentions,” he added.

Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif lauded Pakistan’s armed forces for giving befitting reply to India’s provocation under the Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos.

PM Shehbaz, in his address to the nation, castigated India for imposing an “unprovoked and unjust war” against Pakistan.

He said the world had now witnessed the dignity, self-respect, and unity of the Pakistani nation.

The premier said India used the Pahalgam incident as a pretext to launch military aggression against Pakistan. “The recent actions of the enemy were cowardly and shameful,” he remarked

Addressing the nation, the prime minister started with Quranic verse from Surah Al-Saff (61:4) and said that India attempted to impose war on Pakistan, using the Pahalgam incident as a pretext.

“Our brave and valiant forces delivered a resounding response, bringing the enemy to its knees.”

PM Shehbaz extended congratulations to the proud and dignified people of Pakistan, saying that the world has been made aware that Pakistan is a sovereign and honorable nation.
