PM Shehbaz says 'Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos' gave an effective and befitting response to the enemy’s aggression

Islamabad: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has announced to observe ‘Youm-e-Tashakkur’ on the country’s befitting response to Indian aggression and on the success of 'Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos'.
The day will be observed to offer gratitude to Allah Almighty, pay tribute to the exceptional valour of the armed forces and appreciate the unity of the entire nation.
According to a statement issued by the Media Wing of the Prime Minister’s Office, the PM said the 'Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos' gave an effective and befitting response to the enemy’s aggression, adding that the country proved its superiority at every front.
He said that despite India’s aggression, Pakistan maintained its defence with resilience and demonstrated full readiness to deal with the situation.
The premier urged the nation and the Ulema (religious scholars) to offer collective prayers and Nawafils across the country as an expression of gratitude to Allah Almighty.
He called for holding special prayers for the blessings of martyrs and Ghazis, saying that the sacrifices of the Pakistani armed forces could never be forgotten. The nation stands by their side, he added.
The development comes following US President Donald Trump’s declaration that Pakistan and India had agreed to a ceasefire after Pakistan's military response to Indian aggression.
Recently, the arch rivals were involved in intense firing for four days, the worst in nearly three decades, with missiles and drones being fired at each other's military installations and dozens of people killed.
A ceasefire agreement was reached after diplomacy and pressure from the United States and several other countries.
In a statement, Trump said that Pakistan and India had agreed to a "full and immediate ceasefire" after a fourth day of strikes and counter-strikes against each other's military installations.
Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar had also said both countries had agreed to a ceasefire "with immediate effect" and India's foreign ministry had said it would start at 5pm Indian time (4:30pm PST).
