Our martyrs gave up their today for our tomorrow. Today, we pause to honor every hero who stood as an unyielding wall against all odds. 🇵🇰🕯️
On 6 September 1965, began the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965. Centred largely around the disputed Kashmir region, this conflict represented a pivotal point in Pakistan’s history. Despite significant challenges, Pakistan’s military demonstrated remarkable courage and strategic skill, particularly during key engagements such as the defence of Lahore. The conflict concluded with a UN-mandated ceasefire and was followed by the Tashkent Agreement in January 1966. Defense Day primarily serves to honour the courage and sacrifices of Pakistani soldiers and military personnel during the 1965 war and other significant conflicts. Nationwide ceremonies highlight the heroism of those who defended the nation’s sovereignty. Through tributes such as wreath-laying at war memorials and speeches by military leaders, Pakistan pays tribute to those who died for their country.
