Defence Day in Pakistan is observed annually on September 6, commemorating the day when Pakistan’s national armed forces successfully defended the attack of Indian military in the India-Pakistan War of 1965.
Without any formal declaration of war, the Indian military crossed the international border at midnight and attacked the cities of Lahore, Kasur, and Sialkot. Its main focus was to capture the Lahore city of Pakistan, and their army generals bragged that they would celebrate their success party late evening in Lahore’s Gymkhana Club.
The 17-days long war ended on September 22, 1965, when both sides agreed to the United Nations-administered ceasefire though Pakistan’s strong defense not only crushed the Indian military but also thumped the Indian motives and retaliated so strong that the Indian forces escaped back to their country.
Empowered’ with enthusiasm and valor, Pakistanis tackled Indian-surprise attacks effectively, making them understand that battling with Pakistan isn’t that simple!
