Pakistan decisive victory over India was the core message from Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday in Lahore.
He said the Armed Forces’ swift, four‑day response ended the crisis and lifted Pakistan’s standing abroad.
The premier praised the military’s readiness and skill, calling the conflict “short but highly dangerous.”
He said the performance disproved the notion that Pakistan relies only on nuclear deterrence.
Pakistan decisive victory over India: conventional edge, diplomatic gains, and national unity
The address framed the outcome as a team effort across services. The Army’s use of Al Fatah missiles, the Air Force’s technological innovation, and the Navy’s vigilance were cited as key factors.
Together, they signalled a strong conventional capability able to deter escalation and secure objectives quickly.
On diplomacy, the prime minister highlighted international engagement during the crisis. He noted that US President Donald Trump repeatedly acknowledged the ceasefire and credited his own role in helping both sides step back from further confrontation.
Islamabad views the ceasefire as proof that firm defence, paired with active diplomacy, can protect regional stability.
The speech also stressed national unity. According to the premier, public support, clear communication, and close coordination between state institutions kept the response focused and disciplined.
He linked battlefield performance with the credibility of Pakistan’s democratic and security institutions in the eyes of foreign partners.
For Pakistan’s policy community, the lesson is to sustain readiness while strengthening diplomacy.
Continued investment in indigenous technology, joint training, and integrated command systems can preserve the conventional edge.
On the external front, active outreach with key capitals helps ensure timely de‑escalation when tensions rise.
The remarks came after the prime minister inaugurated the Pak Business Express and upgraded passenger facilities at Lahore Railway Station.
