In a post on X, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Tariq Fazal Chaudhry said, “The nation of Pakistan and its brave armed forces stand united when it comes to the country’s security, sovereignty, and border protection.

“Our forces remain vigilant and fully prepared at all times to defend the homeland, and they possess the complete capability to deliver a strong and effective response to any threat or aggression,” he said.

Under the leadership of Field Marshal General Asim Munir, the Pakistan Armed Forces are carrying out their national duties with professional excellence, superior training, and modern defensive strategy, he stated.

He further stated that no compromise would be made on the peace and stability of the homeland, and any misadventure would be firmly thwarted

“Pakistan is a peace-loving country and believes in promoting stability in the region,” he reaffirmed; however, he warned, “If our sovereignty or territorial integrity is challenged, a decisive and befitting response will be given.”

“Today, the entire nation stands shoulder to shoulder with its armed forces and is ready to make every sacrifice for the defense of Pakistan,” Chaudhary said.
