Lahore: Defence and Martyrs Day is being observed today (Wednesday) to pay tribute to the martyrs and Ghazis of 1965 war with a renewed commitment to defend the motherland against all threats.

It was on this day in 1965 that the Indian forces crossed international border to attack Pakistan, but our valiant Armed Forces, backed by entire nation, foiled nefarious designs of the enemy.

The day dawned with 31-gun salute at the Federal Capital and 21-gun salute at provincial capitals.

Special prayers were offered after Fajr prayer in mosques for the progress and prosperity of the country and independence of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).

Fateha khwani and Quran Khawani will also be held for the martyrs.
