ISLAMABAD, May 09 (APP):Federal Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Dr. Tariq Fazal Chaudhary on Saturday said Pakistan’s armed forces gave a “clear and historic defeat” to India during the Marka-e-Haq and Bunyan-un-Marsoos operations, while the entire nation stood united behind the military leadership.
Addressing an event held to commemorate Marka-e-Haq, he said a “new Pakistan” emerged before the world after the operation, describing May 9 and 10, 2025, as a historic turning point in the country’s history.
He said the enemy had underestimated Pakistan’s strength but received a strong and decisive response. He added that under the leadership of Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, hostile designs against Pakistan were successfully foiled.
Dr. Tariq said the armed forces had made it clear that the blood of every martyr would be avenged, adding that the Pakistan Air Force demonstrated exceptional professionalism by shooting down six enemy fighter jets.
He also referred to remarks by Air Vice Marshal Aurangzeb Ahmed, saying the “6-0 score” statement became symbolic of Pakistan’s success during the conflict.
He praised the “Shaheens” of the Pakistan Air Force for shattering the enemy’s claim of aerial superiority, saying the opposing side’s air defence system even failed to protect its own aircraft.
He further said that due to the professional performance of the Pakistan Air Force during the conflict, the failure of the Rafale aircraft became a subject of global discussion.
The minister said that due to heavy losses, India approached the United States for a ceasefire, adding that Pakistan halted its operation following international requests.
He said Pakistan’s army, navy, and air force remained fully prepared throughout the confrontation and that, despite the enemy’s numerical superiority, it could not match the spirit and determination of the Pakistani nation.
Paying tribute to the martyrs, he said the entire nation salutes the mothers and families of those who sacrificed their lives for the country, adding that the martyrs had written a new chapter in history through their sacrifices.
The minister further said the entire nation demonstrated unity and solidarity during Marka-e-Haq, adding that Pakistan conveyed a message to the world that it is a responsible and strong state.
He said Pakistan’s military and political leadership demonstrated “unparalleled coordination” during the conflict.
He further said the nation had set aside political differences and stood united like “Bunyan-un-Marsoos” against external aggression.
Tariq Fazal also highlighted Pakistan’s diplomatic role in efforts related to tensions between the United States and Iran, saying Pakistan continued to engage with both sides for regional peace and stability.
