Marka-e-Haq 14th August Youm-e-Azaadi: Message from Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmed Baber Sidhu, Nishan-e-Imtiaz (Military) Chief of Air Staff
On the auspicious occasion of Independence Day of Pakistan, I extend warm greetings to all citizens of Pakistan. Indeed, this day signifies an epoch-making moment in our history, reminding us of the determined struggle and supreme sacrifices of our forefathers for a separate homeland. No doubt, in their quest for freedom, the Muslims of the sub-continent stood united under the dynamic leadership of Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah; bravely facing the daunting challenges that came their way, and eventually achieved an independent state. While celebrating our Independence Day, we salute our illustrious forefathers and express them a debt of gratitude for their supreme sacrifices. This year 14th August is all the more significant, as the aggressor yet again challenged the very existence of a peaceful country, little knowing about our indomitable will to fight. Alhamdulillah, in a remarkable show of unity, the people of Pakistan and its Armed Forces took up the gauntlet and routed the enemy. Certainly, this resounding success was the outcome of unified approach by all elements of national power and above all Allah's special blessings. Undoubtedly, the exemplary tri-service jointness played a pivotal role in Marka-e-Haq Bunyan-um-Marsoos, inflicting a crushing and decisive punch on the adversary, which not only ensured Pakistan's sovereignty and territorial integrity but also stunned the entire world. Let me share that for the first time in history, PAF conducted Full Spectrum Operations in a conflict, which was the outcome of excellent planning and well-orchestrated employment of Multi-Domain Warfare Capabilities; acquired in recent years on the strength of our aggressive modernisation and indigenization drive. I am proud that PAF once again upheld the glorious legacy of fighting the outnumbered and remained 'Second to None'. I assure you that with the support of the brave people of Pakistan, PAF in synergy with Sister Services is fully prepared to thwart the nefarious designs of any adversary. On this special occasion, we pay rich tribute to Shuhada of Marka-e-Haq for their ultimate sacrifice for honour of Pakistan. My Dear Countrymen! We, in PAF, are well-cognizant that eternal vigilance is the price of freedom and will continue to defend the aerial frontiers of our motherland at any cost for the peace-loving people of Pakistan. Indeed, we are a resolute, resilient and forward-looking nation gifted with an immense potential to do miracles and Insha Allah, will continue to uphold Quaid's vision to make Pakistan a stronger and impregnable state. On this happy day, we also acknowledge the sacrifices of our Kashmiri brethren who have been fighting against Indian Occupation for over seven decades and renew our pledge to continue their moral, political and diplomatic support in their just struggle for self-determination. May Allah Almighty grant us strength and guide our efforts to defend our motherland in a manner befitting the Nation's faith and pride in the Armed Forces. (Aameen)! Pakistan Air Force Zindabad! Pakistan Paindabad! Copyright Business Recorder, 2025

War 2 teaser triggers backlash after Pakistan's Independence day mention
Hrithik Roshan's biceps are out. Jr NTR is locked and loaded. Kiara Advani makes a blink-and-you-miss-it appearance. And yet, the loudest thing to come out of the War 2 teaser? A date. Yep. A date has launched a digital war. The Movie War 2 is Coming this Independence DayBut the Date given on the Trailer of the Movie is 14th August which is Independence Day of Pakistan Another Example that Bollywood Loves Pakistan! The teaser dropped like a cinematic bomb, packed with everything a spy thriller should have, explosions, swag, cryptic one-liners, and that signature HRX intensity. It even opens with a dramatic 'This Independence Day' title card, setting the tone for patriotic feels. And then, BOOM: 14 August flashes on the screen. Cue record scratch. Whose Independence day War 2 team is celebrating on August 14th? For context, 14 August is not India's Independence Day. It is Pakistan's. You can imagine what happened next. Social media imploded. 'Whose Independence Day are you celebrating?' one confused user questioned, while another claimed Bollywood has entered its 'love letter to Pakistan' era. Others dragged the release strategy, calling it 'a total marketing blunder' and even 'insensitive.' Netizens react Some fans were genuinely baffled: 'Since when did India become independent on 14th August?' Others were just done: 'Someone please tell Hrithik this is India, not Pakistan.' Oof. And it is not like the teaser was dull, Hrithik Roshan is in top-tier spy shape, Kiara's look turned heads, and Jr NTR's presence promises serious fireworks. Still, all of that got buried under a tsunami of memes and sarcastic digs. War 2 is celebrating pakistani independence day @yrf thuuu pakistani na kodaka 🤬Aug 14 evari independence day raa pooka @yrf War 2 To add salt to the cinematic wound, many viewers were already missing Tiger Shroff from the first War. Now with the date drama? The comparisons and complaints are flowing faster than Kiara's slo-mo hair flip. Directed by Ayan Mukerji and produced by Aditya Chopra, War 2 is the sixth film in YRF's expanding Spy Universe. Hrithik reprises his role as Kabir, the brooding superspy, and this time he faces off against Jr NTR in what is being hyped as the most explosive face-off yet. But right now, the real explosion is happening on social feeds, not on screen. Whether this was a clever marketing ploy or a case of someone at YRF forgetting to check a calendar, it has overshadowed everything else in the teaser. Moral of the story? In a film all about timing, even one wrong date can trigger an international-level plot twist.
