He elaborated on the success of operation, the professional capabilities of Pakistan Air Force (PAF)

and strategic measures adopted to foil enemy designs.

Addressing the participants, the speakers said that the poetry and philosophy of Khudi presented

by Allama Muhammad Iqbal had always served as a guiding force for the nation’s veterans, Ghazis

and martyrs. They said Youm-e-Takbeer commemorates the historic day when Pakistan made its

defence impregnable and demonstrated to the world that it would never compromise on its sovereignty

and dignity despite international pressure.

The speakers urged the youth to adopt Iqbal’s philosophy of Shaheen and play an active and

constructive role in national development and defence. They observed that the armed forces

had practically demonstrated the concept of Bunyan-um-Marsoos by exhibiting unity, courage

and commitment on every front.

In his concluding remarks, Dr Abdul Rauf thanked the distinguished guests, defence experts

and the college administration for their cooperation and participation.
