“This day is observed every year to commemorate the spirit and the valour displayed by our armed forces in defending our borders against the blatant aggression of our neighbor during 1965 war,” he said. He said that the armed forces of Pakistan had not only defended our frontiers successfully, but had also participated in the world’s largest counter terrorism operation.
