Information Minister Pervaiz Rashid has said that the 1965 war was undoubtedly won by Pakistan and this has also been recognised by the world.
Addressing a function in connection with Defence of Pakistan Day on Sunday, he said that on this day India failed in its aggression, while Pakistan remained successful in defending its territory.
He said that besides the armed forces, every segment of society played a pivotal role in defending the country. He paid tributes to Radio Pakistan and the Press Information Department for the pivotal role played by them in the war of 1965. He said the singers and poets through their voices and pens infused a new spirit of patriotism in the nation during that time.
Pervaiz Rashid also paid rich tributes to industrialists, traders and vendors who maintained their supply lines during the war. He said that the enemies want to destabilise Pakistan politically and economically through terrorism. He urged the nation to foil the nefarious designs of the enemy through unity.
