Defence and Martyrs Day will be observed tomorrow to pay tribute to the martyrs and Ghazis and reaffirm commitment to defend the motherland against all threats. It was on this day in 1965 that the Indian forces crossed international border in the darkness of night to attack Pakistan but the nation foiled nefarious designs of the enemy. Special prayers will be offered after Fajr in mosques for the progress and prosperity of the country and independence of Indian Illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir. Fateha and Quran Khawani will also be held for the martyrs. The day will dawn with 31-gun salute at the Federal Capital and 21-gun salute at provincial capitals. The day's activities will also include visiting the families of martyrs as well as monuments built in their memory. Source: Radio Pakistan
