The programme includes wreath laying at the martyrs\u2019 monument along with a tri-services salute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marka-e-Haq, meaning \u201cbattle of truth\u201d, refers to the 19-day military conflict between Pakistan and India that lasted from April 22 to May 10, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On May 6 and 7 last year, India launched what Pakistan described as an unprovoked attack following an incident involving tourists in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the ensuing 87-hour conflict, Pakistan claimed to have shot down eight Indian fighter jets, including French-made Rafale aircraft, as well as dozens of drones. The fighting between the two nuclear-armed neighbours came to an end on May 10 after a ceasefire agreement brokered by the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier this week, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said Pakistan was \u201cpreparing for the future war\u201d and asserted that the country had not underestimated India but had \u201cplaced them where they are\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ISPR director general made the remarks during a press conference alongside Rear Admiral Shifaat Ali Khan and Air Vice Marshal Tariq Ghazi to mark the first anniversary of Marka-e-Haq.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the media briefing, Lt Gen Chaudhry said Pakistan\u2019s armed forces had defeated an enemy \u201cfive times larger than itself\u201d and further described India as a \u201cterrorist state\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Separately, the Islamabad Traffic Police issued a traffic advisory ahead of an event scheduled for May 10, 2026, to commemorate the first anniversary of Marka-e-Haq.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the advisory shared on X by the Islamabad deputy commissioner, temporary traffic diversions will remain in effect on several major routes in the federal capital from 6pm until midnight on May 10.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RAWALPINDI: Chief of Army Staff (COAS) and Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) Field Marshal Asim Munir will address a ceremony at the General Headquarters (GHQ) in Rawalpindi tomorrow (Sunday) to&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3927,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[2141,2111,35],"class_list":["post-3926","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pakistan","tag-cdf-munir","tag-marka-e-haq","tag-pakistan"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
