Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar has called for a renewed pledge to stand united and reject division for a peaceful and prosperous Pakistan.
In a message on the occasion of completion of one year of Marka-e-Haq, he paid tribute to the bravery of armed forces emphasizing that they rose with discipline and determination to defend the homeland.
He said marking one year of Marka-e-Haq is a defining moment in our national journey, saying it is a story of courage, unity, and unwavering resolve. A story where every soldier stood firm and every citizen stood behind them.
The Deputy Prime Minister recalled that when aggression was imposed upon us last year, Pakistan under the leadership of Prime Minister Mohammad Shehbaz Sharif acted with calm resolve and moral clarity. He said our response was measured, responsible, and precise; guided not by emotion, but by principle.
He said through this calibrated and resolute response, Pakistan sent a clear and unambiguous message that Pakistan stands for peace, but it will never compromise on its dignity, sovereignty, territorial integrity, and political independence.
Ishaq Dar said the events of last year also remind us that lasting peace in South Asia cannot be achieved without addressing the core issues- foremost among them- the just resolution of Jammu and Kashmir, in accordance with UN Security Council resolutions and the aspirations of its people.
The Deputy Prime Minister reaffirmed that any threat to Pakistan will be met with national unity, unshakeable resolve and strength through all means available.
He said Pakistan remains committed to regional peace and stability. He said we believe in dialogue, diplomacy and in resolving disputes through justice and mutual respect.
