The message comes amidst a challenging security landscape, reflecting the unwavering resolve of the province's defenders who have paid the ultimate price in the fight against terrorism. This pledge embodies the spirit of Pakistan Zindabad that defines the nation's Independence Day celebrations.

A Province United in Sacrifice and Resolve

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has been at the forefront of Pakistan's counter-terrorism efforts. The people of the province have paid glowing tributes to the defenders of Pakistan for their unmatched sacrifices, a great achievement widely described as a defining moment in the country's defence history .

On the first anniversary of Marka-i-Haq, large rallies and public gatherings were organized across the province, where participants raised enthusiastic slogans in support of the Pakistan Armed Forces, reaffirming their strong commitment to national unity and sovereignty .

The province has witnessed significant sacrifices in recent months. In a single incident in July, 15 security personnel, including military and police officials, were martyred while repulsing a terrorist attack on a checkpost in the Tank district. The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) stated that the soldiers displayed "unwavering courage and professional excellence" in the line of duty .

A Renewed Pledge

The collective pledge from the security forces on Independence Day reinforces their commitment to eliminating the scourge of terrorism. The relentless counterterrorism campaign under the vision of Azm-i-Istehkam continues at full pace to eliminate foreign-sponsored and supported terrorism from the country .

Pakistan Zindabad!

The unwavering resolve of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's security forces, supported by the resilience of its people, ensures that Pakistan will remain strong and stable on the global map. The nation stands united behind its defenders, echoing the spirit of unity, faith, and discipline.

Pakistan Zindabad! 🇵🇰
