Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmed Babar Sidhu has expressed his gratitude to National Assembly Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq for the parliament’s strong support of the armed forces in the face of Indian aggression.
In a letter addressed to the Speaker, the Air Chief praised the parliamentary leadership’s role in fostering national unity, saying the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) values the show of solidarity from lawmakers.
“Speaker Sadiq’s efforts to strengthen national cohesion in the wake of Indian hostility are commendable,” wrote Chief Marshal Sidhu. He added that the support of parliament and the people gave strength to the armed forces and helped thwart the enemy’s intentions.
The Air Chief also termed the tributes extended by the parliament and national leadership “unforgettable,” and said PAF’s success is a result of divine blessings and the unity of the nation.
Sidhu reaffirmed that PAF is fully prepared to defend the country’s borders and considers this duty a sacred responsibility. He also pledged continued cooperation toward achieving national goals.
His letter was in response to one sent earlier by Speaker Sadiq, who had written to Field Marshal General Syed Asim Munir and Air Chief Marshal Sidhu, lauding the armed forces—particularly the PAF—for their professionalism and bravery in responding to Indian actions.
