According to President Zardari, Marka-e-Haq is a pivotal period in Pakistani history.
“Marka-e-Haq” was one of the most important periods in Pakistan’s history, according to President Asif Ali Zardari, who stated on Sunday that the nation had responded to Indian aggression with a “calibrated and shocking response” while acting responsibly.
The president was speaking at a special event at the Pakistan Monument in Islamabad to commemorate the first anniversary of the conflict, which started with the attack on Pahalgam on April 22 and ended on May 10 of last year with a truce following Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos.
Along with senior civil and military officials, foreign diplomats, and political figures, the ceremony was attended by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Chief of Defence Forces and Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Naveed Ashraf, and Chief of Air Staff Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmad Baber Sidhu.
In his remarks, President Zardari accused India of using the false flag Pahalgam event as justification for unjustified aggression.
He criticized Indian media for propagating false narratives during the crisis and declared, “India launched airstrikes on Pakistan’s civilian and worship places without any justification.”
According to the president, Field Marshal Asim Munir’s “dynamic leadership” enabled Pakistan’s military forces to react successfully.
“Pakistan responded to the Indian aggression with a calculated and startling response,” he stated.
Despite Pakistan’s military might, President Zardari insisted that the country acted with maturity and moderation.
“As a responsible and peace-preferring state, our response was mature and measured,” he said.
The president praised the Pakistan Air Force, saying that despite confronting a more powerful opponent, its pilots had shown remarkable competence and confidence during the conflict.
“Our pilots defended our skies with extraordinary skills and confidence, despite facing a larger adversary,” he stated.

According to Ali Pervaiz Malik, the Pak-Iran gas pipeline proposal is still being considered.
The minister stated that the Pakistani government is working to maintain the project and find ways to advance it.
He pointed out that the cost of liquefied natural gas (LNG) imported from Qatar and gas available via the Iran-Pakistan pipeline is essentially the same. He did, however, note that Pakistan currently has the infrastructure needed to import LNG from Qatar.
He stated, “Pakistan would have to invest billions of dollars in laying pipeline infrastructure in the case of Iranian gas, which would significantly increase the overall cost of the project.”
In response to a query, Mr. Malik stated that it would not be proper to make any more remarks at this time. In reference to the current project dispute, he expressed optimism that both parties would be able to come to an out-of-court settlement in light of Pakistan’s involvement in the recent US-Iran confrontation.
The minister went on, “We will try to resolve the matter through negotiations and achieve a win-win outcome for all parties concerned.”

Mango exports from Pakistan decline as the effects of the Middle East conflict persist
economy that relies heavily on agriculture but is in the middle of the Middle East crisis, which its government has assisted in resolving.
This week, Pakistan announced an initial agreement between the warring parties, but it is too late for Sindh’s mango season, which started in June.
Due to declining demand in important countries, such as the Gulf, and skyrocketing shipping costs, mango dealers told AFP they anticipate a minimum 30% decline in export sales this year.
In addition to the financial hardship, local households are delaying purchasing the fruit due to a jump in inflation brought on by the regional crisis, which is lowering domestic sales.
