Pakistan is observing Youm-E-Tashakur today, as Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said, in recognition of the response of the armed forces to recent Indian assault and the success of “Bunyan-Un-Marsoos”.
A declaration of the media wing of the Prime Minister’s office said that the operation had offered a strong and coordinated response which demonstrated the superiority of Pakistan over all fronts. Youm-e-Tashakur ceremonies are under national level to thank all-powerful Allah, honor the value of military personnel and reaffirm national unity.
In his declaration, the Prime Minister urged citizens and religious scholars to hold the Nawafil collective (voluntary prayers) and special supplications for martyrs and veterans who participated in the operation.
He stressed that the nation would never forget the sacrifices of the armed forces and confirmed public solidarity with the army.
Pakistan and Nuclear India were stated at the limit of large-scale conflicts after days of increasing tension-until US President Donald Trump announces that the two nations have accepted an “immediate and complete ceasefire”.
Soon, Islamabad and New Delhi confirmed the agreement to immediately stop all military activities.
Tensions between the two countries intensified after the attack on April 22 in Pahalgam, India illegally occupied Jammu-et-Cachemire (IIOJK), which killed 26 people. India blamed the elements of Pakistan for assault but has provided no evidence. Islamabad firmly denied allegations.

On April 23, India closed the border crossing of Wagah, revoked Pakistani visas and announced the suspension of the Industry Water Treaty. Pakistan condemned this decision as an “act of war” and responded by sealing the border of Wagah on its side.
The confrontation then broke out on May 6 to 7 while India was launching its attack on Pakistan, which has moved away from the most serious military confrontation between neighbors for decades. Dozens were killed before winning on diplomacy.
Despite the repeated warnings of the Pakistani government, India, fueled by the rhetoric of its media war, continuous provocative actions, including frequent drone incursions, which ultimately prompted Pakistan to retaliate.
