Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif congratulated the nation on the “historic victory of May 10,” calling it a turning point that delivered the enemy a lesson to remember forever. Speaking at the Overseas Convention in London, the premier recalled that when Pakistan was falsely accused, he had made it clear in Kakul that the country had no involvement in the Pulwama incident. He even proposed an international committee to investigate, but the neighboring state failed to respond. Sharif recounted that on May 6, the enemy carried out attacks that martyred innocent Pakistanis, destroyed mosques, and targeted civilian assets. In response, Pakistan was forced to act in self-defense. “With a single decisive strike, Pakistan shot down six enemy aircraft,” he said, noting that the adversary soon realized any further provocation would have serious consequences. The Prime Minister added that Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir had informed him of India’s renewed aggression and sought authorization to respond. “I granted approval, and our armed forces taught the enemy a lesson for a lifetime,” Sharif remarked. He further shared that when an Arab leader asked about the reasons behind Pakistan’s success, he replied: “First, the unmatched bravery and courage of our armed forces; and second, their unwavering faith in Allah.” Second, the unity of the nation. And third, the decisive leadership of the military, which never looked back once the decision was made.” Shehbaz Sharif praised the armed forces’ exceptional performance in the field, saying Pakistan’s “falcons” effectively countered the enemy. He highlighted that the entire nation, from Karachi to Peshawar, stood united in prayer and resilience. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also paid tribute to overseas Pakistanis, calling them an invaluable asset. “Even if weighed in gold and jewels, their worth cannot be matched,” he said. He saluted them for being the political and economic voice of Pakistan and noted that they had sent $38.5 billion in remittances to support the country.
