The Sindh Assembly on Friday unanimously passed a significant resolution on the occasion of Yaum-e-Tashakkur, marking the Pakistan Armed Forces' victory over India.

It expressed gratitude to Allah Almighty for granting victory to the people and their armed forces. It also acknowledged the support of countries that stood by Pakistan in difficult times and condemned India for persistently violating United Nations resolutions and international laws. Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah said that whenever the homeland is threatened, the people of Pakistan and its armed forces unite to respond strongly. He said that a powerful and effective reply was given to India's aggression and credited the victory to divine support. According to him, five Indian fighter jets and 85 Israeli-made drones were shot down. He paid tribute to Mukhtar Leghari from Ghotki, the first martyr in the conflict. He further revealed that attacks on Noor Khan Airbase and Sukkur preceded the launch of Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos at 5am. Pakistani forces reportedly targeted 26 enemy locations, including Udhampur, Pathankot, Ambala, and Jalandhar. He added that modern Indian aircraft and Israeli drones were rendered ineffective in the face of the Pakistani nation's resilience. Opposition Leader Ali Khurshidi said that Pakistan had dealt India a crushing defeat within hours - not only militarily, but also diplomatically, politically, and in the media sphere. He praised the professionalism of the Pakistan Army and the unmatched spirit of the people. Education Minister Sardar Ali Shah criticised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying he had pushed India toward destruction by dragging it into war. He highlighted that all political parties in Pakistan stood united, sending a strong message to the world about Pakistan's solidarity in times of crisis. Jamaat-e-Islami's parliamentary leader Muhammad Farooq said the victory reflected divine unity among Pakistanis and expressed hope that India would now be compelled to speak with Pakistan respectfully. PPP MPA Dr Sham Sundar condemned India's aggression, including attacks on mosques, and praised the professionalism of the Pakistani forces. Home Minister Ziaul Hassan Lanjar called the operation a source of national pride and paid homage to Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan and Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, crediting Pakistan's current strength to their contributions. MQM MPA Iftikhar Alam said that Pakistan crossed into enemy territory and dealt a heavy blow to India's international reputation. Irrigation Minister Jam Khan Shoro asserted that Pakistan had shown the world it is a responsible and defensive nation, citing the capture of Kulbhushan Jadhav and the return of Wing Commander Abhinandan as examples of moral superiority. Former Speaker Agha Siraj Durrani said the conflict was a war, not politics, and claimed Modi had led India to the brink of ruin. He reiterated that Pakistanis remain united in their defence of the country. MQM's Abdul Waseem accused India of attacking its own citizens and blaming Pakistan. He commended the Pakistan Army for exposing those false claims. Local Government Minister Saeed Ghani recalled that Indian PM Modi had once been banned from entering the US, and claimed that global opinion was now turning against India. He warned that India could escalate acts of terrorism and called for a national strategy to counter future threats. The assembly session, presided over by Speaker Owais Qadir Shah, concluded with prayers for the martyrs and the success of ongoing operations. The resolution, passed unanimously, paid tribute to the Pakistan Army and expressed solidarity with its mission. The session was adjourned until 10am on Monday.
