LAHORE: Provincial Minister for Information and Culture Punjab, Azma Bokhari, has extended heartfelt congratulations to the nation on the completion of one successful year of Operation Banyan Al Marsoos, describing it as a golden and unforgettable chapter in Pakistan’s national history. She stated that the operation stands as a symbol of extraordinary bravery and professionalism demonstrated by Pakistan’s armed forces—achievements that will be remembered for generations to come. Paying rich tribute to the falcons of the Pakistan Air Force, she said their exceptional skills and operational excellence have now become a model “case study” for leading military forces around the world. Azma Bokhari also conveyed national appreciation for Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, acknowledging their leadership and contributions to this remarkable success. She emphasized that every Pakistani takes immense pride in the military leadership of Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, adding that Pakistan remains a peaceful and responsible state whose foremost priority has always been peace.

She urged India to immediately cease all forms of interference and proxy activities, including what she referred to as “Fitna al-Khawarij” and “Fitna al-Hindustan, ” reiterating that Pakistan will make no compromise on its national security.
