KARACHI – Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah issued a powerful statement on Saturday, asserting that India will never forget the historic defeat it suffered at the hands of Pakistan. The declaration came during a ceremony commemorating the nation’s recent military success, a victory that has sparked widespread celebrations across the country.
A Swift and Decisive Victory
Addressing the gathering, Shah detailed the scale of the triumph, stating that Pakistan inflicted a crushing defeat on the enemy during Marka-e-Haq. He claimed that eight Indian aircraft were shot down in the engagement. The chief minister emphasized the technological prowess behind the operation, noting that Pakistan achieved this victory over India in a matter of hours.
The conflict was triggered by an unprovoked attack on May 8, 2025, which was met with a formidable response through Operation Bunyanum Marsoos. This counter-operation has since been hailed as a pivotal moment in the nation’s history.
Nationwide Celebrations and Tributes
From Karachi to Khyber, and from Kashmir to Gwadar, citizens united in celebrating the historic victory. Ceremonies and events were organized across Azad Kashmir, Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Gilgit-Baltistan. The public expression of gratitude was directed squarely at the Pakistan Armed Forces.
Marka-e-Haq has been described by officials as an important milestone, reflecting the nation’s resolve, military prowess, and strategic maturity. The success of the battle has not only strengthened national confidence but has also highlighted Pakistan’s position as a responsible and stable regional power. Citizens paid tribute through rallies, candlelight vigils, and seminars, honoring the bravery and excellence of the armed forces.
