A spectacular fireworks display lit up the historic Bab-e-Khyber as a celebration of the successful Operation Bunyanun-ul-Marsoos, carried out in response to recent Indian aggression. The event was organized by former MPA Alhaj Bilawal Afridi in collaboration with the Pakistan Armed Forces and witnessed by a large gathering of local residents, including youth, elders, and children.

The brilliant fireworks not only illuminated the iconic gateway but also ignited a renewed sense of patriotism among the attendees. Chants of “Long Live Pakistan Army” and “Pakistan Zindabad” echoed through the night sky as the public paid tribute to the country’s defenders.

Addressing the crowd, former MPA Bilawal Afridi praised the armed forces, stating:
“We are proud of our military. They have given a befitting response to the enemy and dutifully protected our homeland. Celebrating this victory at Bab-e-Khyber is an honor, as this gate symbolizes our history and pride.”

Afridi further emphasized his unwavering support for the nation and its armed forces, highlighting the recent military success as a crushing blow to the enemy’s arrogance.
“Our forces not only defended our soil but penetrated deep into enemy territory to dismantle their confidence. This celebration is more than just a tribute to military success—it’s a message that the Pakistani nation and its military are fully capable of responding to any aggression.”

He concluded by calling the shimmering lights at Bab-e-Khyber a testament to Pakistan’s invincible defense, a symbol of national strength and unity in the face of any threat.

In a strong message of national unity and defiance against Indian aggression, Khyber Police organized solidarity rallies across the district under the leadership of District Police Officer Rai Mazhar Iqbal. These rallies and walks were conducted in support of the Pakistan Armed Forces.

The events saw enthusiastic participation from local leaders, elders, dignitaries, citizens, and police officers. Demonstrators raised patriotic slogans, including “Pakistan Zindabad,” “Long Live Pakistan Army,” and “Long Live Khyber Police.”

Rallies were conducted at all police station levels, symbolizing district-wide cohesion and support for the armed forces.

Speakers at the rallies emphasized that the entire nation stands united with its brave defenders.
“Our armed forces are the guardians of our homeland. They have time and again sacrificed their lives to provide peace and security to this nation,” said one speaker.
“Khyber Police stands like a fortified wall beside our military brothers.”

The rallies concluded with heartfelt prayers for the safety of Pakistan, the victory and strength of the armed forces, and the elevation of the ranks of the martyrs.

In a strong display of unity with the Pakistan Armed Forces following recent tensions with India, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Olympic Association, along with athletes and sports officials, organized a solidarity walk from Peshawar Sports Complex to Stadium Chowk. The rally was led by former Provincial Sports Minister Syed Aqil Shah.

Participants included KP Olympic Association President Haroon Zafar, squash legend Qamar Zaman, Assistant Director Sports Shah Faisal, Ilyas Afridi, Zulfiqar Butt, and a large number of athletes and sports professionals. Demonstrators carried banners and placards adorned with slogans praising the Pakistan Army and condemning Indian aggression.

Addressing the rally, Syed Aqil Shah declared:
“By provoking Pakistan, India has signed its own death warrant. This is not 1965 or 1971—this is 2025, and we will not let them escape unscathed. Our brave armed forces have never let us down and will continue to make the nation proud on every front.”

He lauded the Pakistan Army’s swift and effective retaliatory response, calling it a historic victory that shattered India’s arrogance in a single day.

Other speakers echoed this sentiment, stating that India had miscalculated the resilience of Pakistan and its military forces.
“Whatever illusions India had about intimidating Pakistan were crushed overnight. Now, before launching any future aggression, it will think not once, but a thousand times.”

The rally ended with thunderous chants of “Pakistan Zindabad” and “Long Live Pakistan Armed Forces,” followed by prayers for the success of the armed forces and the elevation of the martyrs’ ranks.
