A ceremony was held here at the International Islamic University Islamabad (IIUI) on Tuesday to pay tribute to the martyrs of the country on Defense Day.
Chairman Higher Education Commission (HEC), Dr. Mukhtar Ahmed graced the ceremony as the chief guest that was held in the Council Hall of the new campus of the University. The event was also attended by President IIUI, Dr. Hathal Homoud Alotaibi, Vice Presidents of the university, Deans, senior faculty members, students and other relevant officials.
Dr. Mukhtar said that on the 6th September, 1965, our brave forces crushed the enemy. “The special feature of the 1965 war was the spirit of ideal love for the Pakistan Army and the people of Pakistan,” the Chairman HEC said. He said today, there is crucial need to awaken and re-energize that spirit again.
He said we are proud of the brave sons of the soil, especially the Shuhada who laid down their lives but did not let the enemy move an inch to fulfil its nefarious designs.
