RAWALPINDI: Citoyens are observing Saturday (6th Sept, 2025) Defence Day commemorating the 59th anniversary of 1965 Indo-Pak War.
The day, which coincided with the the 1500th birth anniversary of Holy Prophet (PBUH), commenced with a 31-gun salute in the federal capital. People prayed for the prosperity of the country. A solemn guard-changing ceremony was held at the Mausoleum of the Founder of Pakistan, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. A contingent from the Pakistan Air Force Academy Asghar Khan took over guard duties at the Mazar.
ISPR noted: “On this historic day, our brave soldiers, with the support of the nation, stood like an insurmountable wall against blatant aggression, thwarting the nefarious designs of an enemy far superior in arms and numbers. The feats of heroic valour and sacrifice left an indelible message on the sands of time: that a united nation can never be defeated.”
