Punjab PA calls for national unity
Punjab Assembly Speaker Malik Muhammad Ahmad Khan on Friday reaffirmed Pakistan's commitment to peace but issued a stern warning that the country would respond forcefully to any act of aggression. He was addressing a ceremony held at the Punjab Assembly to observe Youm-e-Tashakur (Day of Gratitude), commemorating Pakistan's success over India. "Pakistan desires peace and values dialogue," the Speaker said, "but if anyone harbours adventurist intentions, we will leave no stone unturned in our retaliation." He declared that the entire nation stands united in defence of the country's sovereignty. "I thank Almighty Allah, and today the nation's head is held high with pride. We can say with confidence that we will not hesitate to sacrifice our lives for the protection of every inch of Pakistan," he added. Malik Ahmad Khan emphasised that the entire political spectrum in the country is united in support of the armed forces. "Every move made for political gain will be foiled. No one will be allowed to twist the facts, especially if false flag operations like Pulwama or Pahalgam are repeated," he cautioned. Touching upon key geopolitical concerns, the Speaker said Pakistan is ready to discuss matters like the Indus Water Treaty and Article 370-A of the Indian constitution. "It is not surprising if the suspension of the Indus Water Treaty is linked to war. Pakistan has a rightful claim to Sindh's waters, which were not even cut off during times of war," he stated. He further remarked that Pakistan has borne the brunt of terrorism more than most countries, with the loss of over 90,000 lives. "This sacrifice cannot be overlooked or taken lightly," he asserted. Recalling the military confrontation with India, Speaker Khan said Pakistan's swift response, including the downing of six Indian fighter jets, had sent a clear message. "Even today, voices within India question what Prime Minister Modi achieved through that adventure," he noted. "Facial expressions of commandos on both sides and the speeches of both Prime Ministers Shehbaz Sharif and Narendra Modi tell their own story," he said, hinting at a stark contrast in morale and public confidence. The ceremony was attended by cabinet members, members of the provincial assembly, and media representatives. President of the Punjab Assembly Press Gallery, Khawaja Naseer, and Secretary Adnan Sheikh were also present.
