یوم دفاع و شہداء

آج کا دن میرے بے باک دلیروں کا سفیر.. 

آج کا دن...ہر اُس فرد کے نام..

جس نے کسی بھی پلیٹ فام پہ دو قومی نظریے کا دفاع کیا....

اُس پاکستانی کے نام جس نے گرین پاسپورٹ پہ شرمندگی کے بجائے فخر کیا....

اُس رضاکار کے نام جس نے دہشت گردی کے دھبے کا امن سے دفاع کیا....

اُس پردیسی کے نام جس نے پاکستان سے دور رہ کر بھی پاکستان کی فلاح کی فکر کی.....

اُن بہترین دماغوں کے نام...جنہوں نے ترقی یافتہ ممالک سے بڑے بڑے عہدے چھوڑ کر اس وطن کی بہتری کے لیے واپس آنے کو ترجیح دیا....

اُن کسانوں کے نام...جن کی محنت زمین سے اناج اگل کر عالمی منڈی میں زراعت کا دفاع کررہی ہے....

اُن سپاہیوں کے خون کے نام جن کا نام کہیں نہیں آتا.....

اُن ماوں کے نام جو اپنے بچوں کی تربیت میں اپنی ثقافت کا دفاع کررہی ہیں...

اُن گمنام لوگوں کے نام جنہوں نے اپنی شناخت مٹا کر وطن کا دفاع کیا....

اُن استادوں کے نام جو ٹوٹے پھوٹے نظامِ تعلیم کی اینٹیں جوڑنے کی کوشش میں آج بھی لگے ہوئے ہیں....

اُن پاکستانیوں کے نام جو وسائل ہونے کے باوجود فرار کے بجائے انہی حالات میں رہ کر بہتری کی اپنی کوشش کررہے ہیں....

اور....

اور ان فوجیوں کے بھی نام..

جنہوں نے سرحد پہ ٹینکوں توپوں اور گولیوں کے سامنے ڈھال بن کر اس سرزمین کا دفاع کیا....

محسن نقوی کے الفاظ میں...

سرحدِ ارضِ وطن تیری حفاظت کے لیے...

کتنے خورشید تیری خاک کے کام آئے ہیں

آئیں..تجدیدِ وفا کریں....کہ دفاع کی ضرورت کہیں بھی کبھی بھی پڑی تو ہم نظر چرا کر نہیں گزریں گے....یہی پیغام ہے یومِ دفاع کا....

Endless Pain that turns into ultimate reward hereafter

Defense Day is celebrated each year on 6^th September in the memory of the sacrifices rendered by the Pakistani Armed forces in 1965 war against India.

Defense Day is also a day to renew our pledge that we are a strong, proud nation, and that we would not be terrified by any foreign nation, no matter how strong it is. It embodies the fighting spirit, bravery and tactical acumen of the great nation of Pakistan. 

During 1965 war, were times when our ancestors hada wake up with the sounds of chaos and war and now are the times, our young generation wake up in peace and stability, this peace and stability is all a token from the martyrs who lost their lives saving ours.

Today is defense day, many of us will be busy in their offices, work tasks or celebrating with friends/families without realizing the pain, aching and discomfort for families of martyrs.

I am writing this article with a heavy heart after interviewing a Ghazi (Injured Soldier) from an intelligence agency whose car hit a landmine during operations in tribal areas at night time. He was badly injured with severe backbone injured which has taken him to bed from last one year. He has gone through several operations with some rods and screws to fix the injury. After inquiring more about the incident, he said, he was happy and contended by what happened as it is part of destiny. He felt pride that he has done something better and worthy for his country. It is easy to write and talk about the defense day and the military-related operations.  But, it is very difficult to go through the pain by getting critically injured in wars and coming back home all alone. Have we ever thought that being humans, we all have the same emotions and feelings? The ghazis also have heart and they also want friends and all the right to live normally.

The brave ghazi further told me that they are habitual of tough training and our tolerance level is far better than any average person. He said, pain is quite normal and he is not in the depressive mood.Still, pain is a pain, sometimes it is hard to tolerate it. When people around you are busy with other things and you need to spend the whole time onthe bed.  So, it is high time to pay tribute to these unknown soldiers of intelligence agencies with different names and different identities. They even don’t know when, where and how they get death or injury. Sometimes, they covered in flags, coffins and occasionally died in an unknown land where their bodies don’t claim by forces.Still, they are doing their duty silently just for the love of the country.

Most of the times, news of causalities for soldiers from intelligence agencies are hidden from the public. Let’s vow to ourselves, that this defense day, we will honor the sacrifices made by these unsung heroes whose slogan is,” if death strikes before I prove my blood, I swear I will kill death.

War of Weapons & Cyber Warfare, A message on Defence Day

We can't justify love for armed forces by paying homage to them on just single day, sacrifice they had given to our Homeland and nation may never be forgotten, in 1965 on the same day India launched it's military on Pakistan without any declaration or warning, and there we had proved ourself with our strength, power and dignity. Although it was militant action but whole nation of Pakistan was standing behind their armed forces to support them, now that time has been changed, new era had arisen, countries are using new war tactics, we are surrounded by neighbors like India those who like to attack us through any mean available to them. If we see ourselves, what we are doing for our nation and our Pakistan, we spend maximum hours at social media sites doing crazy stuff that has niether benefit for us at individual level not! at national level, we should remember that not only armed forces are obliged to protect Pakistan, we have some duties to full fill too, we should fight our wars through electronic media, fight through cyber wars, we should do something to create impact on world that we are proud nation, a nation with strength, a nation with dignity, a nation with intelligent youth. At least in this way we can contribute a minor drop in mighty ocean of our developing country, at least in this way we can proudly utter words to mother's and  families of Shaheeds and Ghazi's that we are not letting go sacrifices of their sons easily. May Pakistan Rise and shine.
Pakistan Zindabad 🇵🇰

The Day Of Sacrifice And Courage (6th sep)

*Defense Day is celebrated on 6th September every year in Pakistan. It is celebrated on the memory of martyred people who gave sacrifices of their life for the defense of the country. The Pak-indo ll war was fought in 1965. This was ended on 6th September and both countries stopped damaging each other by using weapons etc 6th September is therefore also know as the defence day of Pakistan. This war affected financially both countries but none of them could really dominate. As Pakistan remained saved.

*Army officers like Captain Sarwar Shaheed, Major Tufail Shaheed, Major Raja Aziz Bhatti Shaheed, Major Shabbir Sharif Shaheed, Major Muhammad Akram Shaheed, Sawar Muhammad HussainShaheed, Lance Naik Muhammad Mehfooz Shaheed,and Havaldar Lalak Jan Shaheed gave sacrifices of their life for pakistan and were awarded with “Nishan-e-Haider” for their acts of exceptional bravery. Nishan-e-Haider is a highest military award given to brave martyres of Pakistan army those who left remarkable examples ofbravery and sacrifice for nation and country.

*As we know India claims to be the largest democracy in the world is not accepting the existence of Pakistan since its appearance on the map of the world. Indian occupied Kashmir is main root of the war between Pakistan and India. India has forcefully captured Kashmir by the seven lack army. India is not acting upon the resolution of United Nation. The soul of resolution was to give right to Kashmirs of selecting their country. Whether they want to associated with Pakistan or India but India knows that Kashmirs will support Pakistan and would become the part of Pakistan that’s why India has been making different excuses and not giving  rights to Kashmirs which is their fundamental right. 6th September is not only the day of war between Pakistan and India but it is the day which distinguishes between evil and good, white and black, truth and lie.

*The true remembrance of the day is that we should give tribute to our army by abolishing hatred among each other. We should fight against illiteracy, corruption, extremism and terrorism as a nation and remove these diseases from our country for always and make our Pakistan as one which dream was seen by Allama Iqbal. We should make our country according to the vision of Quaid e Azam then it would be a great and real gift on the behalf of 6th September 1965.

DEFENCE DAY OF PAKISTAN

YESTERDAY WE WERE STRENGTHENED BUT TODAY WE ARE UNCONQUERABLE.

6th September, 1965 is a day that is not only being commemorated as the Defence Day of Pakistan but also declared as the Youm-e-Difa. On this day comfortably sitting at our homes we can say with proud and dignity that this is our motherland that has been irrigated by the blood of our brave and courageous soldiers. The whole nation knows that how our bold, daring and valiant tigers of Pakistan forces shattered the projected, organized and furtive rebel of the opponent. They destroyed and demolished the self-respect and honor of the massive Indian forces into ruins and debris. 

Pakistan is not a fruit of single day effort and struggle. Its foundation lies on two nation theory proposed by Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, with the resoluting spirit of Molvi Fazal-ul-Haq, with the dedication and faith of Allama Muhammad Iqbal and last but not the least under the charismatic and invincible leadership of our great leader Quiad-e-Azam Muhammmad Ali Jinnah.

Even though after the independence of our beloved state Islamic Republic of Pakistan on 14th of August, 1947 Hindus promoting false thoughts in their minds were unable to bear the thought of an independent and separate Muslim state progressing and advancing towards its final goal for which the state came into existence i.e. Fort of Islam right after 18 years planned to attack at midnight at the back like hen hearted. But the Fort of Islam gave them a great set back by protecting their land, air and sea for five weeks and reminding them that the forces they are fighting against were the sons of Tipu Sultan, Khalid bin Waleed, Muhammad bin Qasim and Sultan Salhuddin Ayubi.

Even today according to Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah “We stand united as one nation.”
Enemies of the state clearly listen:

“We were unconquerable yesterday, we are unconquerable even today and we will be unconquerable in the future as well.”

LONG LIVE PAKISTAN, LONG LIVE PAKISTAN FORCES

PAKISTAN ZINDABAD, PAKISTAN FORCES PAINDABAD.
