Islamabad : Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif visited Kamra Airbase and met the falcons of the Pakistan Air Force who crushed the enemy’s conceit of superiority in one of the longest air battles of the 21st century.
Speaking on the occasion, Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif said that our falcons crushed the enemy’s arrogance, our armed forces fought this war with their lives at the risk of their lives, and Allah Almighty granted them great success, India’s war madness has subsided, now talk about peace, we are ready for it.
Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif said that I extend my heartfelt congratulations on the great and glorious victory on behalf of myself and the 240 million people of Pakistan, our falcons crushed the enemy’s arrogance. He said that the enemy’s fourteen classes were enlightened by Pakistan’s counter-attack. We have never been blessed with such a magnificent victory in the history of Pakistan. With this magnificent victory, you not only changed the world’s thinking but also changed the balance of power in the entire world and the region.
The prime minister said that Pakistanis are proud of this magnificent performance of the Pakistani army, but you have given the enemy a message that if he ever looks at us with a dirty eye again, you will trample him under your feet. Shahbaz Sharif further said that the Shaheens shot down not five but six enemy planes and also shot down drones.
The enemy is many times bigger and in recent times he has spent hundreds of dollars to buy the latest weapons and told the world that he is the police chief, but our Shaheens smashed the idol of this police chief on the evening of May 10. No one will suffer from such arrogance and conceit for the rest of the world. He said that our falcons have created history in a few hours that friends and enemies will continue to read until the end of time.
In the war, three enemy Rafales were shot down and this battle was won by our falcons. Modi will remember the target of Rafale that our falcons hit until the end of time and the world will remember it. The Prime Minister said that to protect the geographical borders of the country, our armed forces fought this war with their lives at the risk of their lives, and Allah Almighty granted this great victory. He said that the difference between us and the enemy in this war was that we did not leave the path of patience and tolerance, and decided that we would give a thoughtful response to the enemy for the arrogance with which the enemy rejected our offer of peace.
He said that the enemy martyred our young children, but our forces targeted the enemy’s military installations and made mistakes along the way. The Prime Minister said that we want peace, but the enemy should not consider it our weakness. I want to tell the enemy that your war fever has subsided. Now talk about peace, we are ready for it, and you know very well that the necessary conditions for this peace are that the Kashmiris should be given their right to self-determination as per the UN resolutions.
He added that the movement in Kashmir will continue until the Kashmiris get their right. Let us sit down and talk for this so that this issue, which can ignite the fire of war at any time, can be resolved. On the occasion of the visit to Kamra Airbase, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Muhammad Ishaq Dar,
Defense Minister Khawaja Asif, Army Chief General Syed Asim Munir, Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmed Babar Sidhu, Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal, Information and Broadcasting Minister Attaullah Tarar and top civil and military leadership were also present. It may be recalled that after the Pahalgam incident on April 22, 2025, India had started blaming Pakistan, after which the already frosty relations between the two countries became tense.
India had announced the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty and restricted Pakistani diplomatic staff, while canceling the visas of Pakistanis in India and sending all Pakistanis, including children, who were going for medical treatment, back home. In response, Pakistan had termed the illegal suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty as a declaration of war, restricting Indian diplomatic staff, canceling the visas of all Indians except Sikh pilgrims, while canceling all trade with India and closing the airspace for Indian flights.
Later, India launched missile attacks on 6 places including Kotli, Bahawalpur, Muridke, Bagh and Muzaffarabad on the night of February 6 and 7, as a result of which 26 civilians were martyred and 46 were injured. Pakistan took immediate defensive action and shot down 6 Indian warplanes, including 3 Rafale jets.
India tried to target three Pakistani airbases with missiles and drones on the night of February 10, after which Pakistan launched ‘Operation Banyan Marsus’ (Iron Wall) early in the morning and destroyed several targets in India, including Udhampur, Pathankot, Adampur airbases and several airfields, as well as the Brahmos storage site and the S-400 missile defense system.
The targets were targeted from the airbases from which the people and mosques of Pakistan were targeted. Operation ‘Banyan Marsus’ was launched against the enemy at dawn and Fatah-1 missiles were fired at India. Similarly, the Brahmos storage site in the Beas area was destroyed by Pakistani missiles, while the Pakistan Army also destroyed the airfield in Pathankot. Training centers of Indian military intelligence that carried out terrorism in Pakistan were also destroyed in Rajouri and Nowshera.
