Karachi: Renowned Pakistani-American businessman and philanthropist Dr. Anosh Ahmed congratulated the nation on Defence Day, paying rich tribute to the martyrs and veterans of the 1965 war, who defended Pakistan’s borders with unwavering faith, unmatched bravery, and sacrifice.

To mark the occasion, the Anosh Foundation prepared a special Defence Day float in honor of the Pakistan Armed Forces. The float was decorated with portraits of Army Chief General Asim Munir, other service chiefs, martyrs, and veterans. It paraded through different areas of Karachi, showcasing documentaries on the freedom movement, speeches of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, and national anthems, filling the air with patriotism.

During the celebrations, national flag badges, caps, biscuits, juice boxes, and other items were distributed among children. In connection with Rabi-ul-Awwal, Pakistan flags and badges were also handed out. The air resounded with chants of “Pakistan Zindabad” and “Pak Army Zindabad.”

In his message, Dr. Anosh Ahmed said September 6 symbolizes the indomitable courage with which the Pakistan Armed Forces defended the homeland in 1965, and once again demonstrated unmatched bravery during Operation Bunyan Marsous in May 2025. He emphasized that Defence Day is not only a commemoration but also a message of unity, sacrifice, and determination for future generations.

“The youth must build a brighter future for Pakistan through education, hard work, and strong character. Our country’s development and prosperity lie in unity—when the nation moves forward together, no power can harm us,” he concluded.
