Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti Friday declared that Pakistan was a sovereign and invincible country, fully capable of defending itself against any form of aggression.<\/p>\n
Addressing a grand ceremony held to mark Youm-e-Tashakur at the Chief Minister\u2019s Secretariat, he affirmed that the defense of Pakistan lies in strong and capable hands, and any threat to the country\u2019s sovereignty will be met with a decisive and powerful response.<\/p>\n
\u201cPakistan has time and again proven its desire for peace, yet it possesses the strength to retaliate forcefully against any hostile act,\u201d Bugti said. The event was attended by provincial ministers, parliamentary secretaries, members of the assembly, senior civil and military officials, and families of martyrs.<\/p>\n
Bugti strongly condemned the recent baseless allegations made by India following a terrorist attack that occurred hundreds of kilometers from the Pakistani border. \u201cWithout any investigation, the blame was directed at Pakistan within minutes,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n
Pakistan, he added, offered transparent investigations and even welcomed the involvement of international stakeholders, but India chose the path of arrogance and war hysteria instead.<\/p>\n
Referring to a reported Indian military attempt to strike Pakistani territory under the cover of night, the Chief Minister said,
\n\u201cA crushing response was delivered, and India was left pleading for a ceasefire.\u201d He credited this to the unwavering readiness of the Pakistani armed forces, their faith, and the unity of the nation.<\/p>\n
He said that the people of Pakistan take pride in their military\u2019s professionalism and courage, especially the recent strategic moves by the Chief of Army Staff. \u201cThe bravery and determination shown in defending the homeland will be remembered for generations,\u201d Bugti stated, extending special tribute to the Army Chief on behalf of the people of Balochistan.<\/p>\n
The Chief Minister emphasized that the Pakistani nation is resilient and considers national defense a sacred duty. He said the nationwide celebrations of Youm-e-Tashakur demonstrate the collective consciousness and unity of the people in celebrating victory and resilience.<\/p>\n
\u201cPakistan has always extended the message of peace and stability in the region. However, if anyone mistakes our desire for peace as weakness, or tests our patience, they will receive the same crushing response as before,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n
Sarfraz Bugti thanked all esteemed guests for their participation in the ceremony, stating that such events serve as a clear message to adversaries: Pakistan is a strong, united, and determined nation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
