KARACHI: Pakistan Navy Day is being observed today to pay tributes to the Ghazis and war heroes whose sacrifices and gallant acts instill a renewed spirit in nation. In his message on the occasion, Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Zafar Mahmood Abbasi said this day is reminiscent of a glorious chapter in our nation’s history when unmatched courage and unwavering commitment of Pakistan Navy quashed the pipe dreams and misplaced ambitions of our adversary.
He said Pakistan Navy through a bold and daring Operation Somnath attacked Indian Radar Station at Dwarka and right at the onset of the war gained psychological ascendancy and subsequently a single prowling submarine, PNS/M GHAZI maintained unchallenged superiority at sea throughout the war.Abbasi said this effectively led to the might of the Indian Fleet including their Aircraft Carrier being confined inside the harbours.
Abbasi said Pakistan is facing myriad of security challenges on internal and external fronts and Pakistan Navy is also playing its due role as part of ‘Operation Radd-ul-Fassad’ in collaboration with Pakistan Army, PAF and other Law Enforcement Agencies.
