The National Assembly has unanimously passed a resolution reaffirming the nation’s unwavering resolve to support the Armed Forces of Pakistan in the defense of the country’s ideological and geographical frontiers.
The resolution, moved by Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar, expressed national pride in the preparedness and response of the Pakistan Armed Forces during the events of May 10, 2025, which the House described as a reaction to unprovoked Indian aggression.
Timeline of Escalation
The resolution detailed a sequence of events beginning on April 22, 2025, with a terrorist incident in Pahalgam, located in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir. The House deplored what it termed a malicious campaign by the Indian government and state-sponsored media to implicate Pakistan without evidence, despite the Government of Pakistan categorically condemning the incident.
According to the resolution, the Prime Minister of Pakistan offered to participate in a neutral, transparent, and credible investigation into what appeared to be a false flag operation. However, the House condemned India’s subsequent decision to launch an unprovoked air strike on May 6, 2025, which targeted innocent civilians.
Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos and Strategic Gains
In response to this aggression, the Pakistan Armed Forces, under the command of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Chief of Defence Forces Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, launched Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos on May 10, 2025.
The resolution highlighted significant military achievements across multiple domains:
- Air Superiority: The Pakistan Air Force was commended for shooting down multiple Indian aircraft, including Rafale jets, and destroying a sophisticated S-400 air defense asset valued at $1.7 billion.
- Ground and Aviation Strikes: Retaliatory strikes targeted and destroyed Indian brigade headquarters and aviation bases, including Brahmos facilities that had fired missiles into Pakistan.
- Naval Agility: The Pakistan Navy was praised for its strategic preparedness and for successfully thwarting intrusion attempts, forcing the enemy to retreat.
- Cyber Warfare: The House acknowledged the technical expertise of cyber warfare experts who countered attacks from Indian hackers and rendered a large portion of India’s strategic infrastructure dysfunctional.
The resolution further honored the martyrs of the Armed Forces who died in the line of duty, noting that they inflicted a defeat upon a numerically superior enemy across land, air, sea, and cyber domains.
National Unity and Future Implications
The House acknowledged the support of the entire nation, including representatives from both the government and opposition benches. Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq also paid tribute to the Armed Forces on the first anniversary of Marka-e-Haq.
The resolution concluded with an unequivocal warning to India, stating that Pakistan’s desire for peace should not be mistaken for weakness. It asserted that any further misadventure against Pakistan’s territorial integrity or sovereignty will not be tolerated.
Given the stance outlined in the resolution, any future provocations may be met with a response from Pakistan’s defense forces utilizing their full strength to protect national sovereignty.
