To commemorate the anniversary of Marka-e-Haq, top civic and military leaders assemble at Pakistan Monument.
At a special ceremony on Sunday, Pakistan’s senior military and civil leaders convened at the Pakistan Monument in Islamabad to commemorate the first anniversary of the nation’s declared triumph in “Marka-e-Haq,” the state’s euphemism for the recent conflict with India.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, President Asif Ali Zardari, and Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, Chief of Defense Forces and Chief of Army Staff, were present at the event. Senior political figures, federal ministers, international ambassadors, and senior civil and military officials were also present, along with Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Naveed Ashraf and Chief of Air Staff Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmad Baber Sidhu.
Yousaf Raza Gilani, the chairman of the Senate, Ayaz Sadiq, the speaker of the National Assembly, and others from all backgrounds attended the memorial service at one of Islamabad’s most notable national landmarks.
The confrontation between Pakistan and India, which started with the Pahalgam attack on April 22 and ended with the truce declared on May 10 following Operation Bunyanum Marsoos, has been referred to by the state as “Marka-e-Haq,” or the “Battle of Truth,” according to official accounts.
The national anthem was played after the Holy Quran was recited to start the ceremony. Attendees applauded as the three armed forces’ well-prepared contingents performed a ceremonial march past the monument.
As attendees remembered what officials characterized as a pivotal period in Pakistan’s recent history, patriotic songs were also played, creating an emotionally charged environment.
A military aircraft fly-past was also planned as part of the commemoration. However, organizers subsequently acknowledged that bad weather in the federal capital was the reason for the cancellation.
The Pakistan Monument was surrounded by large screens and ceremonial lights, and the area was decorated with national flags and symbolic exhibits that reflected the role of the armed services during the fight.
While images from the ceremony emphasized the involvement of all three armed forces, state media coverage featured senior leadership mingling with visitors and military members during the occasion.
Throughout the ceremony, security measures in and around the Pakistan Monument were strict, with law enforcement officers keeping an eye on the roads leading to the location. The events were attended by a sizable number of invited guests, authorities, and media representatives.
