Islamabad: In a strong statement, the Meeraah-e-Haqq Shaheed Foundation has urged the government to formally recognize the sacrifices of those killed and injured during recent skirmishes between Pakistan and India. The organization also called for the construction of memorials in their honor, financial assistance for the victims’ families, and vowed to pursue their case at international forums including the International Court of Justice and the United Nations.
During a press conference at the Islamabad National Press Club, Chairman Sharjeel Mir emphasized the importance of acknowledging the sacrifices made by Pakistani soldiers and civilians in response to India’s provocative actions. He criticized India’s recent false flag operation in Pahalgam, alleging that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government attempted to falsely attribute the attack to Pakistan within ten minutes of the incident. Mir pointed out that India exploited the event to conduct targeted attacks on multiple Pakistani regions during the early hours of the following night, aiming to sabotage Pakistan’s ongoing international initiatives.
Sharjeel Mir further condemned India’s attempts to destabilize Pakistan, asserting that Indian actions reflect a pattern of aggression intended to undermine stability. He lauded Pakistan’s military leadership, including Field Marshal General Asim Munir, for demonstrating responsibility and restraint, even as tensions escalated following the attack on Noor Khan Airbase. Mir highlighted that Pakistan responded decisively with a full-scale military response, asserting its readiness to defend its sovereignty and maintain peace without compromising its security.
The organization leader reaffirmed Pakistan’s identity as a peaceful nation committed to self-defense. He branded India as a terror-state, citing global evidence of its malicious activities. Mir also noted that Pakistan’s diplomatic efforts have faced setbacks, yet the country continues to garner worldwide appreciation for its resilience and bravery.
Chaudhry Yasser, the General Secretary of the foundation, provided detailed statistics during the press conference, dismissing Indian claims of attacks on terrorist camps within Pakistan. He stated that India’s real targets were innocent civilians, including mosque congregants and residents in villages, who suffered from Indian shelling and attacks. He pledged to stand in solidarity with the victims, promising to take their case to the international judiciary and the United Nations.
The foundation demanded that memorials be erected in honor of the martyrs, with street names and public spaces named after them to ensure their legacy endures. Additionally, it called for financial support to be provided to the victims’ families as a recognition of their sacrifices. The organization reinforced its commitment to advocating for justice on their behalf, promising to continue raising awareness and pursuing legal recourse until their demands are met.
