He said that the destruction and military loss that India faced within just four hours was unparalleled even in the wars of 1965 and 1971.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He said that Pakistan\u2019s vigorous and effective countermeasures gave India such a crushing defeat that it was forced to request a ceasefire.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Other speakers said the Pakistani armed forces are not just a military force but a symbol of the nation\u2019s honor, dignity, strength and confidence. They said the unity, expertise and professional coordination demonstrated by the Pakistan Army, Pakistan Air Force and Pakistan Navy is a source of pride for the entire nation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>They urged the international community to play its role in resolving the Kashmir dispute in accordance with the United Nations resolutions and the aspirations of the Kashmiri people for the establishment of lasting peace in South Asia.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ghulam Muhammad Safi thanked all the distinguished guests, speakers, participants, journalists and youth who attended the ceremony and said the Kashmiri people will maintain their historical, ideological and heartfelt ties with Pakistan and the Pakistani Armed Forces at all costs.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the ceremony, a great tribute was paid to the martyrs, ghazis and brave sons of the Pakistani Armed Forces who sacrificed their lives for the defense of the homeland.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The ceremony was attended by senior Hurriyat leaders Muhammad Farooq Rahmani, Altaf Hussain Wani, Mir Tahir Masood, Syed Faiz Naqshbandi, Muhammad Hussain Khateeb, Muhammad Altaf Butt, Sheikh Muhammad Yaqoob, Sheikh Abdul Mateen, Hassan Al-Banna, Haji Muhammad Sultan, Dawood Khan, Javed Jahangir, Mian Muzaffar, Syed Kifayat Hussain Rizvi, Syed Ijaz Rahmani, Imtiaz Wani, Chaudhry Shaheen, Zahid Safi, Syed Gulshan, Adeel Mushtaq, Muhammad Ashraf Dar, Nazir Karnai, Manzoor Dar, Zahid Mujtaba, Ghulam Nabi Butt, Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Community Raja Pervez, General Secretary of Kashmir Community Madam Afshan Kayani, Pirzada Mushtaq, Chaudhry Shakeel, Raies Ahmad Mir, Sanaullah Dar, Imtiaz Butt, Khalid Shabbir, Abdul Rashid Butt, Imtiaz Mir, Kausar Iqbal and APHC-AJK Information Secretary Mushtaq Ahmed Butt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Islamabad: A grand ceremony was organized at the office of All Parties Hurriyat Conference Azad Jammu and Kashmir chapter under the chairmanship of Convener Ghulam Muhammad Safi to pay tribute to the Pakistan Army in the context of the historic achievements of Marka-e-Haq and Operation Bunyanum Marsoos. &nbsp; According to Kashmir Media Service, the ceremony &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":200188,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[82],"class_list":["post-200187","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-aphc-ajk","tag-marka-e-haq"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/assests\/2026\/05\/FB_IMG_1778412270849.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/200187","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=200187"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/200187\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":200189,"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/200187\/revisions\/200189"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/200188"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=200187"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=200187"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kmsnews.org\/kms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=200187"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
