Malik Muhammad Ahmad Khan stated that the victory in the battle for truth has rekindled the nation’s patriotic spirit. Protecting Pakistan’s borders, he stressed, is not merely a duty but an article of faith. “The Pakistani nation is invincible – vigilant and ever-ready to defend its homeland at all costs,” he remarked.
Emphasizing national unity, he said, “We are not Sindhi, Balochi, Punjabi, or Pashtun first – we are Pakistanis, and that is our true identity.”
