Islamabad Police Inspector General Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi, addressing the participants, praised the armed forces for confronting the enemy 'like an iron wall.' He described the victory as not only Pakistan's success but a triumph for the entire Ummah.
Rawalpindi Commissioner Amir Khattak also spoke at the event, paying tribute to the armed forces, veterans, martyrs, and their families for their sacrifices in defence of the nation.
Counter-Terrorism Department SSP Hamza Humayon lauded the Pakistani people for their unwavering support for the military, saying the unity between the nation and its defenders had been clearly demonstrated.

Pakistan launched the military operation in response to Indian aggression on May 10, deploying its Al-Fatah missile system and targeting multiple Indian military installations. Key targets included BrahMos storage facilities at Beas and S-400 air defence systems at Adampur and Bhuj.
Moreover, the Pakistan Air Force shot down five Indian jets, including French Rafale, and carried out strikes on several Indian airbases.
Following these developments, India requested intervention from US President Donald Trump, which ultimately led to a ceasefire agreement between the two nuclear-armed neighbours.

Billionaire reportedly planning Titanic wreck expedition two years after Oceangate tragedy
Two years after the Oceangate tragedy that claimed five lives, a billionaire is reportedly planning a private expedition to the Titanic wreck. The ship lies 12,500 feet below the North Atlantic Ocean and has remained off limits since the 2023 disaster. The Oceangate incident occurred in June 2023 when the Titan submersible imploded during a dive to the Titanic. The accident killed Oceangate CEO Stockton Rush, British businessman Hamish Harding, Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman, and French explorer Paul-Henri Nargeolet. The event triggered global scrutiny over deep-sea tourism and private expedition safety. Despite this, interest in the Titanic remains undiminished. According to the New York Post, a new mission is being prepared with a billionaire participant whose identity has not yet been revealed. 'I heard that somebody is going down to the Titanic in a couple weeks,' a source said. 'What I can tell you is that it's a billionaire. Going down there will cost $10 million. You would recognize his name.' The source added that the individual intends to announce the voyage as the first return to the Titanic since the Oceangate disaster. The fascination with the Titanic continues to draw explorers more than a century after its sinking in 1912. The planned dive has reignited debate about the risks and allure of visiting one of the most iconic shipwrecks in history.

PSX sustains record momentum, KSE-100 gains over 1,400 points
There was no stopping the bullish momentum at the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), buoyed by earnings optimism, rupee stability, and strong institutional activity from local and foreign investors. The benchmark KSE-100 Index gained over 1,400 points during the intra-day trading on Wednesday. At 1:05pm, the benchmark KSE-100 Index was hovering at 151,227.48, an increase of 1,456.74 points or 0.97%. Buying interest was observed in key sectors including automobile assemblers, commercial banks, power generation and refinery. Index-heavy stocks, including PRL, ARL, HUBCO, MEBL, NBP and BOP traded in the green. In a key development for Pakistan's corporate sector, Moody's Ratings upgraded the local and foreign-currency long-term deposit ratings of five Pakistani banks: Allied Bank Limited (ABL), Habib Bank Ltd (HBL), MCB Bank Limited (MCB), National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) and United Bank Ltd (UBL) to Caa1 from Caa2. Rating actions followed Moody's decision to upgrade the government of Pakistan's local and foreign currency issuer and senior unsecured debt ratings to Caa1 from Caa2, to reflect Pakistan's improving external position, supported by its progress in reform implementation under the IMF Extended Fund Facility (EFF) programme. On Tuesday, the PSX extended its record-setting rally as the benchmark KSE-100 Index closed at an all-time high of 149,770.75 points, up 1,574 points or 1.06%. Internationally, global share markets came under pressure on Wednesday after a tech-led selloff on Wall Street, while the dollar gained some ground ahead of a key meeting of central bankers later in the week. Stock futures pointed to a lower opening in Europe and most Asian bourses were in the red, with tech-heavy indexes in Taiwan and South Korea among the biggest losers, in part due to worries about the Trump administration's growing influence on companies in the sector. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan slid more than 1%, while EUROSTOXX 50 futures lost 0.64% and DAX futures shed 0.63%. S&P 500 futures dipped 0.27% and Nasdaq futures lost 0.44%, extending a fall from the cash session overnight. Japan's Nikkei lost 1.7% and Hong Kong's Hang Seng Tech Index shed 1.3%. This is an intra-day update
