What happened
Pakistan’s Senate on Thursday, 7 May 2026, unanimously passed a resolution paying tribute to the armed forces, security institutions and the country’s citizens for their sacrifices, courage and resolve in safeguarding Pakistan’s sovereignty, security and national dignity, the state-run Associated Press of Pakistan reported.
The resolution was moved by Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Dr Tariq Fazal Chaudhry. The House paid tribute to the professionalism, timely strategy and bravery of the Pakistan Armed Forces during “Marka-e-Haq” and “Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos,” which the resolution said effectively foiled India’s “Operation Sindoor.”
What the resolution says
According to the report, the resolution states that the operation sent a clear message to the enemy that Pakistan possessed full capability to defend its sovereignty, national interests and territorial integrity.
The House also appreciated the leadership of President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for promoting national unity and for presenting Pakistan’s position internationally. It paid particular tribute to Chief of Army Staff and Chief of Defence Forces Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir for his leadership, military strategy and services to national defence, stating that his leadership had further strengthened the morale and professional capabilities of the armed forces.
The resolution honoured the martyrs and veterans of the armed forces who sacrificed their lives for the defence of the motherland, and expressed solidarity with civilian victims and their families affected by enemy aggression and acts of terrorism. It reaffirmed that the nation stood with its armed forces and that no compromise would be made on Pakistan’s defence, sovereignty and stability.
Why it matters
The resolution records formal parliamentary endorsement of the military’s account of the recent conflict and frames the events as a national-security success. The report also said the House appreciated the role of political parties and the media during the situation, and urged the international community to help ensure peace, stability and adherence to international law in South Asia and to discourage actions that could escalate regional tensions. The account reflects the resolution as passed by the Senate and the official description of the operation; no independent verification was sought.
