The 6thof September is a golden chapter in the history of Pakistan. This is the day when we pay tribute to the brave martyred soldiers. Who sacrificed their lives in defending their homeland from the enemy. Especially to those 11 martyrs who distinguished themselves for their extraordinary heroism. And Government awarded them the anticipated Nishan-e-Haider.
Pakistan Defence Day is the most surprising and noteworthy time ever. That day we remember all the surrender given by our nation in the security of our homeland. Defence day refers to in Pakistan as a national day of the time upon the arrival of September 6 every year. This time illuminates the individuals, killed in the India-Pakistan war of 1965. And compelling assurance of Sialkot and Lahore and a few different parts of Pakistan.
On this pride day, public offers special prayer after Fajr in mosques for the progress and prosperity of the country. Fateha and Quran Khawani would also be held for the martyrs. Numerous functions would be held all across the country to mark the day. Army officials will hold the main function of the day at General Headquarters in Rawalpindi to pay tributes to martyrs.
Years later, once again, we are engaged in a war and our soldiers are sacrificing their lives to protect our homeland from terrorists. We are passing through challenging times. Any act of terrorism is accredited to Muslims. We must learn to stand confidently on our own feet.
Today our nation stands at the intersection of its destiny, facing numerous challenges to the security of the country. So, it is not army war only; it is a national war that demands the support of every citizen and politician. On this occasion, recalling the 1965 spirit of unity.
We should all reject our domestic variances and at least stand together on basic national concerns, for it is feared that the existing conflicts will have dreadful consequences if we permit them to remain. Let’s pledge to revitalize the essence of September 6, 1965, when the entire nation was one entity.
Especially 6th September is the day for all of us to remember for it marks the resilience and character shown by the brave sons of this land in the face of the naked aggression of the enemy on our eastern border. It is a day that reminds us of the countless sacrifices offered by Pakistanis from all sections of the society ever since the independence gained in 1947, in different walks of life.
6th September calls upon us to always remember those seventeen days of the pride of our nation and try our utmost to maintain our grace and dignity in the same way. May Allah help us in this essential task.
. We should all pray for the safety and solidarity of Pakistan and also that Allah gives us the strength, courage and determination, to protect and safeguard at all costs, the freedom and honour of our homeland.
