He acknowledged diplomatic efforts by Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister in de-escalating tensions and also thanked the foreign ministers of the United States and Turkiye for their role in promoting peace. “India and the world now understand that Pakistan is not weak by any measure,” he added.
The religious leader also paid tribute to the armed forces, saying: “We salute every soldier of Pakistan. The institutions working for the country’s security deserve our utmost respect. India, which consistently engages in aggression, once again faced humiliation.”
