History of Pakistan Defense Day
It should be remembered that on September 6, 1965, India had attempted an adventure against Pakistan, on which the armed forces defeated the enemy.
A country many times bigger than Pakistan, with many times the army and defense resources, attacked Pakistan in the dark of night without any announcement. On which the brave soldiers fought with bravery and courage and crushed the ambitions of India in such a way that it had to face shame at the world level as well.
In this battle, along with the army, the people also came to the field against India and proved to be a leaden wall to protect their homeland. Every year in Pakistan, the 6th of September is celebrated with national enthusiasm to reiterate the determination to die for the homeland, in this regard, public and private level ceremonies are also organized.
