Islamabad: President Asif Ali Zardari has honoured the nation and armed forces on the first anniversary of Marka-e-Haq, praising the military leadership for delivering what he described as a resolute, calculated and disciplined response to external aggression.
According to Global Mirror, in a statement issued by the Presidency’s Media Wing, the president termed the leadership, strategy and “courageous decisions” of Field Marshal Asim Munir instrumental in the success of the operation. He also lauded Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmad Babar Sidhu and Pakistan Air Force for their “exceptional skill and professional excellence,” while commending Admiral Naveed Ashraf and the naval forces for maintaining full operational readiness and robust defence capabilities.
President Zardari said the events of April and May last year were not merely a military episode but a moment of national reckoning. “When India, under the guise of a Pahalgam false flag operation, launched unprovoked strikes on our soil targeting civilian areas as well as military installations, Pakistan responded with discipline, precision, courage and unity,” he said.
