Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, referring to her party, has said “We are not the people of May 9, we are the people of May 10 and 28.”

She was referring to the May 9 riots, the nuclear tests of May 28, 1998, and the completion of Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos on May 10.

“The enemy state doesn’t look at us with an evil eye because it knows Pakistan is a nuclear power,” she said, adding, “On May 28, 1998, we defeated the enemy 6-5 and on May 10, 2025, we defeated the enemy 6-0.”

She also thanked Army Chief Gen Asim Munir, Pakistan Air Force Chief ACM Zaheer Ahmed Babar Sidhu, former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, and every officer who helped Pakistan achieve this historic victory.
