ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif<\/a> on Thursday said India would never forget the defeat in the recent \u201cbriefest yet most effective war\u201d against India that also falsified those who thought Pakistan lagged in conventional war.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome thought Pakistan was behind in conventional warfare \u2014 this war proved them wrong. Our unity, courage, and faith will lead us to economic progress and ultimate victory\u2026 India will never forget this defeat.<\/p>\n

And Insha Allah, the day will dawn when Kashmir becomes part of Pakistan,\u201d he said while addressing a ceremony for the distribution of compensation cheques among the families of those martyred in the recent Marka-e-Haq<\/a> \u2013 the recent Pakistan-India war.<\/p>\n

He was joined by AJK Prime Minister Chaudhry Anwar-ul-Haq and Federal Minister Engineer Amir Muqam, who lauded the leadership and valor shown by the Armed Forces and civilians.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif stated that Pakistan\u2019s measured, yet forceful military response to Indian aggression had rewritten history and proven Pakistan\u2019s defensive capabilities to the world.<\/p>\n

The prime minister reflected on the recent conflict, triggered by what he described as India\u2019s \u201cfalse flag\u201d Pahalgam operation, and lauded the unwavering courage of the Armed Forces and citizens of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK).<\/p>\n

\u201cA few days ago, India\u2019s baseless accusations over the Pahalgam incident attempted to sabotage regional peace. In response, Pakistan offered a full international investigation\u2026 But instead of accepting the offer, India launched attacks on Bahawalpur and AJK, resulting in 35 martyrs and 55 injured. We responded decisively, downing six Indian jets, including their Rafale and MiG-29 \u2014 and defended with honour using Al-Fatah missiles,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The prime minister recounted pivotal moments of the conflict, describing the early morning call from now Field Marshal COAS Asim Munir, confirming Indian missile strikes, and the decision to retaliate.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was the briefest yet most effective war, where Pakistan defended without harming civilians. Our forces, led by COAS Asim Munir, turned the tide. By May 10, India was pleading for a ceasefire. It was Allah\u2019s Will and our soldiers\u2019 courage that avenged past wounds, including the memory of 1971,\u201d said the prime minister, praising national unity and the Armed Forces\u2019 prowess across land, air, and sea.<\/p>\n

Shehbaz Sharif told the gathering that the government had announced a comprehensive compensation package for the families of martyrs and the injured, with Rs10 million per martyr\u2019s family and Rs2-5 million per injured individual. Besides, the families of martyrs of the Armed Forces would be given Rs19-42 million each for housing, full salaries and allowances until their retirement dates, free education for bereaved children, and Rs1 million marriage grant for their respective daughters.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo amount can equal the lives lost. But we must support these heroic families with dignity,\u201d he said. \u201cTheir reward lies with Allah, and this nation stands indebted forever.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also reaffirmed Pakistan\u2019s unwavering support for the Kashmir cause, noting that his brother, ex-Prime Minister Nawaz Shari,f and all political parties had consistently advocated for Kashmir\u2019s right to self-determination.<\/p>\n

Federal Minister for Kashmir Affairs, Gilgit-Baltistan, and SAFRON, Engineer Amir Muqam, welcomed the prime minister and lauded his compassionate leadership.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Rs10 million compensation for the martyrs and Rs2 million for the injured is a commendable step,\u201d Muqam stated, also lauding \u201cunmatched\u201d overwhelming spirit in both troops and civilians. The families of martyrs have shown a level of zeal and courage that is nothing short of extraordinary, he added.<\/p>\n

The minister announced that the compensation for property damages during the war would also be provided, emphasizing the resolve of the people of AJK in standing firm against Indian aggression.<\/p>\n

AJK Prime Minister Chaudhry Anwar-ul-Haq praised PM Shehbaz Sharif for uniting the country and Kashmiri people during a time of grave threat.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrime Minister Shehbaz Sharif\u2019s leadership not only fortified national unity but also elevated COAS Asim Munir to Field Marshal \u2014 a decision in line with the nation\u2019s sentiments. This war was a triumph of justice and resolve,\u201d Haq said.<\/p>\n

He highlighted ongoing human rights violations in the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, especially under the shadow of the Pahalgam incident, and reiterated AJK government\u2019s commitment to support the affected population.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis relief package shows the prime minister\u2019s heartfelt solidarity with the people. To counter future aggression, our nation must remain united,\u201d Haq stressed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
