This year’s observance carried a dual spirit-celebrating the sacred blessings of Eid Milad-un-Nabi (PBUH) and honouring the national pride of Defence Day.

With a spirit of reverence and gratitude, the event paid glowing tribute to the martyrs who laid down their lives in defence of the motherland, ensuring the nation’s sovereignty, freedom, and dignity.

The evening featured soulful national songs, poetry recitations, and cultural performances that celebrated Pakistan’s resilience while reflecting deep respect and admiration for the courage of the soldiers.

The event not only highlighted Pakistan’s rich cultural heritage but also served as a reminder of the strength and unity that emerged from the sacrifices of September 06, 1965, and beyond.

Addressing the gathering, PNCA officials emphasized that Defence Day is a solemn occasion to reaffirm national solidarity and to remember the extraordinary bravery of the martyrs of the Pakistan Army, who remain eternal guardians of the nation’s pride.

The prayers were offered for the departed souls, with heartfelt supplications for their elevated ranks in Jannah and for the continued safety, prosperity, and strength of Pakistan.

The audience, comprising dignitaries, cultural figures, students, and citizens from diverse walks of life, expressed profound respect and admiration, joining in a collective pledge to uphold the values of courage, unity, and patriotism that the martyrs embodied.

Through this commemoration, PNCA once again underscored its commitment to preserving the memory of national heroes, celebrating Pakistan’s cultural identity, and fostering an enduring spirit of patriotism through the arts.
