Chief of Air Staff’s message on Pakistan DayOn the auspicious occasion of the Pakistan Day (Resolution Day), I extend warm greetings to all my countrymen and women. The 23rd of March, 1940, undoubtedly stands as a defining moment in our history, as it culminated in the propagation of the historic Two-Nation Theory. It was at that moment, the Muslims of the sub-continent were thus united to launch an epic struggle for a separate homeland, which eventually reached its logical conclusion on 14 of August, 1947.
As we celebrate this day with traditional national fervour and enthusiasm, it is incumbent upon us to make our younger generation realize the true value and worth of Independence. Pakistan came into being as a special blessing of Allah Almighty and as a result of supreme sacrifices of our forefathers, led by courageous, selfless and devoted leaders of freedom movement. Let us pledge today that we will stand firm as a nation to safeguard our country and freedom by displaying the same spirit which earned us this sacred motherland. I am sure that following the ideals of Islam, and displaying solidarity among our people, we will not only be able to defeat the enemies of our state but will also be successful in embarking on new vistas of unparalleled progress and prosperity in line with the enormous potential, Allah Almighty has bestowed this country and nation with. On this momentous occasion, I wish to assure my countrymen that Pakistan Air Force is fully committed to the mission entrusted to it by the nation. Being the sentinels of aerial frontiers, Pakistan Air Force is in a high state of operational readiness to thwart any nefarious designs of the enemy. May Allah Almighty grant us the strength, wisdom and vision to safeguard our sovereignty and discharge our duties to the best of our abilities. Aameen!
