Defence Day Speech

Respected Principle, Teachers and my

school fellows
ASSALAM-O-ALAIKUM
I am happy to join you in celebrating the
Defence Day and it’s a matter of great
pleasure to me that I am addressing to some
of the future corporate leaders of this
country. As all of you know that we
are celebrating the 54th Defence Day of
Pakistan. Dear fellows, we celebrate this day
in the memory of our those beloved and
brave soldiers who fought bravely and died
in the Indo-Pak war of 1965 and made
successful the defence of Lahore and other
important cities of Pakistan.
I know you all are aware of the historical
significance of this day. However I would like
to highlight it so that all the students of our
junior classes are well aware about it. So my
dear students, this is what happened. On 6th
September 1965 at 5 am the Indian army
attacked Pakistan from Lahore Burki Sector.
This five week war caused thousands of
casualties on both sides. It ended in a United
Nations mandated ceasefire. Pakistani Army
officers like Captain Sarwar Shaheed, Major
Muhammad Akram Shaheed, Lance Naiq
Muhammad Mehfooz Shaheed, Major Tufail
Shaheed, Major Raza Aziz Bhatti Shaheed
sacrificed their lives and were awarded with
“Nishan e Haider” for their acts of exceptional
bravery.
This day of 6th September is celebrated with
great patriotism and enthusiasm in the
country. It starts with special prayers for the
peace and prosperity of Pakistan. The
President and Prime Minister along with
other ministers of Islamic Republic of
Pakistan address the people.
The Army of Pakistan displays the latest
missiles, tanks, guns, army aviation
helicopters and armament being used by
Engineers, Electrical and Mechanical corps,
Army Air Defence, Signals, Army Service
Corps and Army Medical Corps. Everyone is
allowed to watch such functions live by going
to the specific venues. These shows are also
displayed on national T.V channels. National
songs and special documentaries about the
events and the martyrs of 6th September war
are displayed on T.V.
Dear students we celebrate the Defence of
Pakistan Day every year to keep reminding
the new generations about how the armed
forces of Pakistan, solidly backed by the
entire nation, had defeated the Indian
invaders. It should also be observed as a
thanksgiving day. In line with the spirit and
national unity, we should all be praying for
safety, security and solidarity of Pakistan. We
must pray for the freedom and honour of our
God- given motherland Pakistan for now and
always.
Pakistan Zindabaad!

Thankyou
