In an extraordinary address to the nation on the night of May 10, 2025, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif not only informed the public about the ceasefire in the ongoing Pakistan-India conflict but also repeatedly referred to India as the “enemy.” The Prime Minister made it clear that while Pakistan desires peace, India’s unprovoked aggression under the cover of darkness on May 7 and 8—targeting civilian areas and mosques, resulting in the martyrdom of 24 innocent Pakistanis—left no choice but to retaliate.
Pakistan’s Unmatched Response
At the crack of dawn on May 10, Pakistan’s armed forces delivered a resounding blow, striking 10 strategic Indian locations and reducing them to ashes. The precision and speed of the operation stunned the world, forcing India into a humiliating retreat.
India’s Isolation and Internal Chaos
Political, social, and defense analysts highlighted India’s growing isolation and internal instability. The Modi government’s extremist policies have fueled separatist movements among Sikhs, Kashmiris, Tamils, and other minorities, with at least 22 active independence movements now posing a serious threat to India’s unity.
Key Military Achievements
S-400 Air Defense System Destroyed: Pakistan’s JF-17 Thunder hypersonic missiles obliterated India’s $1.5 billion S-400 system in Adampur.
Pakistani hackers breached BJP’s official website and critical Indian infrastructure, including CRIA, Mahangar Telecom, and Border Security Force portals.
Power Grid Crippled: 70% of India’s electricity supply was disrupted, paralyzing communication and defense networks.
Strategic Targets Neutralized:** Key military installations in Nagrota, Uri, Pathankot, Bathinda, Sarsa, and Akhnoor were decimated.
Global Reaction & Diplomatic Fallout
While China, Turkey, and the Muslim world stood firmly with Pakistan, the U.S. and Western nations remained neutral—only Israel openly supported India. The international community condemned India’s aggression, particularly its targeting of civilians and religious sites.
Kashmir: A Turning Point
Experts suggest that India’s military humiliation presents a historic opportunity for Pakistan to push for a Kashmir resolution. With India weakened and separatist movements gaining momentum, global pressure may finally force New Delhi to the negotiating table.
Pakistan’s Unshakable Unity
From students to scholars, soldiers to civilians, Pakistan stood as one. Social media campaigns, nationwide rallies, and unwavering morale showcased the nation’s resolve. As analysts noted, “This was not just a military victory—it was the triumph of a united Pakistan over an enemy blinded by arrogance.”
A New Era of Deterrence
Operation *Binyan al-Marsous* (The Impenetrable Fortress) has redefined South Asia’s power dynamics. India’s dreams of regional dominance lie shattered, while Pakistan emerges stronger, more united, and globally respected.
The message is clear: Challenge Pakistan at your peril.
