Message from chief of the Naval Staff on Navy Day — 8 September 2019

Published

8th September, the Navy Day, reminds us of the courage and gallantry of the Men in Whites whose bold and brave undertakings took the enemy by surprise and smashed his misplaced perception of supremacy. On this day, the chivalry with which ‘Operation Somnath’ was undertaken will continue to be a source of inspiration and pride for us. It was a pinnacle of valour and initiative, where in Pakistan Navy Ships launched an assault on Western Indian shores and destroyed the Indian Radar Station at Dwarka. This handed Pakistan Navy huge psychological advantage right at the onset of war and kept the Indian Fleet from venturing into the North Arabian Sea. IN Ships dreaded the lonely prowler in the war theater, Pakistan Navy Submarine Ghazi, which reigned supreme at sea.

Navy Day is commemorated in Pakistan Navy to pay homage to our heroes of 1965 War and to revive the same spirit of fearlessness, sacrifice and selfless devotion. 8th September will remain a golden chapter in our naval history and continue to inspire our new generation of Officers and Sailors. It is a day to carry forward the legacy of self-belief, audacity and unflinching resolve to do the utmost to ensure a brighter tomorrow for our future generations.

Maritime arena today is facing numerous challenges including; piracy, illegal trafficking of arms and drugs, human smuggling and the menace of maritime terrorism. Pakistan Navy has always been at the forefront in ensuring safety and security of international waters either in collaboration with other Navies or through independent initiatives, such as Regional Maritime Security Patrols. Development of Gwadar Port and realization of CPEC would enable us to exploit the untapped Blue Economy with huge economic dividends, not only for Pakistan but also for the entire region. Pakistan Navy is committed to ensuring seaward security of this ‘Game Changer’ Project and to contribute to its successful fruition.

In the Post-Pulwama scenario, Pakistan Navy remained in a high state of readiness and maintained vigilance throughout the crises. This

was vindicated by the detection of latest Indian Navy Submarine which was forced to clear our waters and denied any opportunity to manifest its nefarious designs. Round the clock patrolling and surveillance by Pakistan Navy Units also kept Indian Navy Ships at bay. We owe it to Allah SWT’s special blessings that granted us with the strength and fortitude to strike fear in the hearts of our enemy.

As we commemorate the Navy Day, Officers and Men of Pakistan Navy express complete solidarity with their Kashmiri brethren at this critical juncture. Indian attempt to annex Jammu & Kashmir and enforce fascist control over IoK has serious implications on the security of the entire region and the world at large. Pakistan will continue to support their just struggle till the resolution of Kashmir issue in accordance with the UNSC Resolutions. We remain committed and ready to go to any extent for the liberation of our Kashmiri brothers and sisters from the yoke of illegal Indian occupation.

Today, all the Officers and CPOs/ Sailors of Pakistan Navy, reiterate their resolve and commitment to relive the spirit of 8th September 1965 and pledge to defend our motherland, to the last man and last drop of blood.

May Allah (SWT) be our Protector and Guide.

Pakistan has achieved another proud milestone in its space journey with the successful launch of the PRSE-EO2 satellite into orbit. This achievement reflects Pakistan’s growing strength in science, technology, and national capability, proving that the country is steadily advancing in modern space development.

The PRSE-EO2 satellite is designed to support Pakistan in multiple critical areas, including earth observation, mapping, environmental monitoring, and national development planning. With this satellite in space, Pakistan will be able to improve its ability to collect accurate data for agriculture, water management, urban planning, disaster monitoring, and climate-related challenges.

This success is a strong reminder that space technology is no longer a luxury—it is a necessity for nations that want to grow in the modern world. Satellites play an important role in helping countries manage their resources, respond to natural disasters, and strengthen national security through better monitoring and planning.

The successful launch of PRSE-EO2 also sends a positive message to Pakistan’s youth. It shows that Pakistan has the talent and potential to compete in advanced fields such as aerospace engineering, satellite technology, and artificial intelligence-driven systems. Such achievements inspire young minds to pursue careers in science and innovation, strengthening the country’s future.

Pakistan’s progress in space technology is not only a matter of national pride but also a strategic step toward long-term development. As the world becomes more data-driven, satellite-based information will be a powerful tool for smarter governance and faster progress.

The launch of PRSE-EO2 proves one clear reality: Pakistan is not standing still. Pakistan is moving forward. And with each successful mission, the nation strengthens its position as a country capable of innovation, modern research, and high-tech achievement.

This moment is a victory for Pakistan’s scientists, engineers, and institutions—and a hopeful sign for the future of a stronger, smarter, and more advanced Pakistan.

Kashmir Day: A Voice for Dignity, Peace, and Justice

Published

By

Every year on 5th February, Pakistan observes Kashmir Day to express solidarity with the people of Jammu and Kashmir. For many, it is a national tradition. But for those who understand the human reality behind the issue, it is far more than that. Kashmir Day is a reminder that millions of people still live with uncertainty, restrictions, and a future that remains unresolved.

As AikQaum, we believe Kashmir is not simply a political dispute. It is a human story. Behind every news report are families, children, students, and ordinary people who want what every human being wants: safety, dignity, and a peaceful life. Kashmir Day matters because silence does not reduce suffering. When the world stops speaking about Kashmir, the pain does not disappear—it only becomes less visible.

For Pakistan, Kashmir is an emotional and moral responsibility. It is tied to shared history, shared identity, and a deep sense of connection. But this responsibility must be carried with wisdom. Support for Kashmir should not be expressed through hatred or extreme language. It should be expressed through dignity, truth, and consistent advocacy based on human rights and international principles.

In today’s world, the Kashmir issue is also a battle of narratives. Misinformation spreads quickly, and emotional reactions often replace facts. This is where Pakistan’s youth have a powerful role. Young Pakistanis can support Kashmir by sharing verified information, raising awareness responsibly, and keeping the conversation alive in a way that the world can respect. A cause becomes stronger when it is represented with discipline and humanity.

Kashmir Day also reminds Pakistan of the importance of unity. A divided nation cannot carry a moral cause effectively. If Pakistan wants the world to listen, Pakistan must first stand together. Unity is not only a national value—it is a strategic necessity.

To the people of Kashmir, AikQaum’s message is clear: you are not forgotten. Your voices matter. Your courage is respected. Your future is important. Pakistan’s solidarity is not limited to one day; it is a long-term commitment rooted in conscience and shared humanity.

Kashmir Day is ultimately a day of conscience. It is a reminder that justice must be pursued with patience, wisdom, and peace. At AikQaum, we stand with Kashmir—firmly, respectfully, and with the belief that no people should remain unheard forever.
