On Youm-e-Tashakkur, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif asserted that Pakistan is a peaceful nation but will respond decisively if its sovereignty is challenged. Addressing the nation after hoisting the flag at the Prime Minister’s House, he praised the armed forces for their “befitting” response during recent clashes with India. The observance included gun salutes, prayers, and nationwide rallies honoring military personnel. Sharif also visited the home of a fallen squadron leader and met injured soldiers at Rawalpindi's military hospital.
