NationalNation Observes Defence and Martyrs Day

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: The nation is observing Defence and Martyrs Day on Monday with enthusiasm and devotion to pay tributes to the Martyrs and Ghazis.

It was September 6, 1965 when the Indian forces crossed the international border in the darkness of night to attack Pakistan but the nation foiled nefarious designs of the enemy.

   

The theme of Defense and Martyrs Day in 2021 is “Our martyrs our pride, salute to all the relatives belonging to Ghazis and Shaheeds.”

The Day dawned with a 31-gun salute in the Federal Capital and 21-gun salute in the Provincial Capitals.

Special prayers were offered after Fajr in mosques for the progress and prosperity of the Country and independence of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) from the cruel clutches of India.

Fateha and Quran Khawani were also held for the martyrs.
