Pakistan Marks One Year Since 'Maraka‑e‑Haq' With GHQ Ceremony and Security Steps

Military leaders cast the 2025 operation as a decisive win that now anchors a stronger deterrent posture.

Overview

  • At General Headquarters in Rawalpindi on Sunday, a ceremony led by Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir marked the first anniversary of “Maraka‑e‑Haq,” the name Pakistan uses for its May 2025 response to Indian actions.
  • In his address, Munir said Pakistan hit more than 26 military targets with missiles and aircraft and described national defense as inviolable under a broadened, multi‑domain posture.
  • Rawalpindi authorities on Monday imposed a 15‑day Section 144 order that restricts gatherings and declared Adiala Jail and nearby areas a red zone to tighten security around sensitive sites.
  • Provincial leaders amplified the victory narrative, with Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah telling the assembly that Pakistani pilots downed enemy jets and could have targeted many more during the operation.
  • In a separate governance push linked to the week’s messaging, Defence Minister Khawaja Asif laid the foundation for a 300‑bed teaching hospital in Sialkot and said years of delays lifted its cost to about 9 billion rupees.
