Youm-e-Marka-e-Haq (Urdu: یومِ معرکہ حق, lit. 'Day of the Battle of Truth'), is Pakistan's official day of remembrance for the 2025 India-Pakistan conflict (locally known as Marka-e-Haq). Observed on 10 May each year, the national day commemorates the successful completion of a combined military operation codenamed Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos against India amidst the 2025 India-Pakistan crisis.[1][2][3]
Background
[edit | edit source]Pakistani sources refer to Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos as a military response to what Pakistan calls Indian aggression. The operation concluded on 10 May 2025.[4][5] The government claims that the capabilities of the armed forces during the operation made us proud.[6] The declaration is part of broader restrictions to recognize military and civilian sacrifices, to express national solidarity and gratitude.[5]
History
[edit | edit source]The public holiday was announced on 12 May 2025 by Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif after the US-brokered ceasefire had came into effect. [7][8]
