Pakistan’s commitment to defending its sovereignty remains stronger than ever, said Army Chief General Syed Asim Munir during a powerful address at the Pakistan Military Academy in Kakul. Emphasizing the enduring relevance of the two-nation theory, General Munir declared that the military stands ready to honor and protect the immense sacrifices that led to the nation’s creation.
Nation Built on Unmatched Sacrifices
Speaking at the passing out parade, General Munir stressed that Pakistan was born out of an extraordinary struggle and countless sacrifices by its founders. He highlighted that Muslims and Hindus differ fundamentally in religion, culture, customs, and aspirations, reinforcing the basis for Pakistan’s independence.
“The two-nation theory was not just a political movement; it was a reality rooted in centuries of history,” Munir asserted. “Our forefathers made enormous sacrifices for Pakistan, and we are fully prepared to defend those sacrifices.”
Commitment to National Defense
General Munir reaffirmed that Pakistan’s armed forces remain vigilant and ready to respond to any threat. He praised the new graduates of the academy, reminding them of the weight of their responsibility toward their homeland.
“We know how to defend Pakistan,” he said with conviction, drawing strong applause from the audience.

PM Shehbaz Calls for Transparent Investigation
Earlier at the same event, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif addressed growing tensions with India following the recent Pahalgam attack. He offered Pakistan’s participation in a “neutral, transparent, and credible” investigation, countering India’s quick accusations without evidence.
Shehbaz criticised New Delhi’s “perpetual blame game,” describing it as a strategy to divert attention from internal issues. “The Pahalgam incident is just another example of unfounded allegations,” he stated.
Warning on Water Rights
Addressing India’s suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, Shehbaz Sharif issued a stern warning. He said any attempt to block or divert Pakistan’s rightful share of water would trigger a “full-force response,” calling water the nation’s lifeline and a matter of survival.
Pakistan’s Role Against Terrorism
The prime minister also highlighted Pakistan’s sacrifices in the global war on terror. He noted that Pakistan suffered over 90,000 casualties and economic losses exceeding $600 billion while fighting terrorism, showcasing the nation’s commitment to global peace and security.
