LAHORE (Dunya News) – The nation is all set to pay tribute to the martyrs on Defence Day on Thursday.
Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa, during Corps Commanders Conference, directed that field formation should reach out to families of martyrs in their respective areas as mark of respect and acknowledgment of their great sacrifices.
ISPR DG Major General Asif Ghafoor, in his tweet, said, “Every Pakistani will be part of the campaign ‘We Love Pakistan’ reaching out to their families, home, street, mohalla, village, city, province and place of Martyrdom.”
He also urged to salute the sacrifices of the courageous officers.
The planning conference was informed that the main ceremony of the day would be held at General Headquarters and it would be broadcast live.
On September 6, 1965, the Indian forces crossed international border in the darkness of night to attack Pakistan but ever-vigilant armed forces, solidly backed by the nation, foiled nefarious designs of the enemy.
