Respected Principal, teachers, and my friends, Assalam-o-Alaikum!

I will begin my speech by describing to you the pains and sacrifices to achieve this country
“Pakistan”. When the British took over in 1857, Muslims were the victim of British cruelty. In such
times, leaders like Quaid-e-Azam, Allama Iqbal, Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, Liaqat Ali Khan, and
Chaudhary Rehmat Ali worked hard days and nights to get us a separate homeland for our
welfare.

Pakistan came into being in 14th August 1947, Pakistan became stable after early sacrifices. But
Kashmir was taken away from us. We started to develop schemes to get Kashmir.

Dear Friends, 6 September is one of the biggest days for Pakistanis as it shows our military
achievement. India attacked Pakistan on 6th September at 3 am without any declaration or
warning. Pakistanis were shocked. It was the time to defend the country. Our soldiers did not
bow down to the shock and replied to them in a befitting manner. We destroyed their tanks,
check posts, and aircraft. M. M. Alam set the example of excellence on 7 September. He shot
down 5 Indian hunter aircraft with F-86 which is still a record. Not only that, Major Raja Aziz
Bhatti wrote the tale of bravery with his blood. He got Nishan-e-haider for his valor which saved
Lahore.

Indian destroyed tanks are still in a Pakistani Museum today. Pakistanis visit them and take pride
that our army did not let any of them damage our cities.

Respected audience, it is due to our soldiers’ blood that we can celebrate defence day today.
Our army has not only protected us from enemies but also saved us many times during flood or
earthquake situations. Our army has been defending us and our homeland for decades. Their
blood is the foundation of our freedom. Let us pray that Pakistan continues to exist till
Judgement Day. Long Liver Pakistan! Long Live Pak Army!
