President Asif Ali Zardari’s Pakistan Day 2026 address honors the nation’s history and unity, tracing the path from the 1940 Pakistan Resolution to the discovery of Pakistan. He emphasizes the elders’ sacrifices and the importance of unity and solidarity in turning national resolve into reality. The speech recalls the challenges Pakistan faced at independence and credits cooperation, hard work, and capability for building state institutions, fortifying defense with nuclear deterrence, and countering terrorism while managing natural disasters. He highlights security operations Marka-e-Haq (May last year), and the achievements of Bunyan-um-Marsoos and Ghazab-Lil-Haq in repelling aggression and disrupting terrorist networks, including a warning against using Afghan soil by anti-Pakistan groups backed by India or proxies. On the Kashmir issue (IIOJK), he points to human rights violations and demographic changes as evidence that the partition’s unfinished agenda requires the international community to press India to allow self-determination in line with UN Security Council resolutions. The speech also calls for international support to end oppression of Palestinians and advocates a peaceful, two-state solution. Domestically, he urges the rule of law, stronger democratic institutions, reduced inequality, women’s empowerment, and the elimination of terrorism and extremism. He concludes with tributes to national heroes, martyrs, and ghazis, and prayers for Pakistan’s protection and prosperity under Unity, Faith, and Discipline, ending with Pakistan Zindabad.
