I and the nation stand and salute the valiant armed forces of Pakistan. We are together Pakistan’s strength. I want our soldiers to know Pakistanis value their sacrifices immensely. As a nation, 180 million hands rise in a salute to our brave sons and daughters who are in the service of Pakistan’s armed forces and to those who have laid down their lives for Pakistan

I assure Pakistan’s armed forces that they will always have enough resources so as to keep ahead of time and, thus, always be in a fit state to defend Pakistan. I reiterate, once again, that Pakistan intends to be a peaceful, progressive and an entirely responsible modern State with a wish that no other country will ever try and foment discord and violence in Pakistan

Having elaborated upon Pakistan’s conventional and unconventional military potential as being very significant let me say it as clearly as I can that none in the world needs to fear or have any apprehensions about this tremendous military potential that Pakistan possesses. Only those who have any evil design on the integrity and sovereignty of Pakistan need fear Pakistan’s powerful and determined riposte. The world must now know that Pakistan will be seeking peace for itself and shall be honoring the peace of all other nations

I want to make yet another appeal to the world leadership to use its influence on the Indian leadership so that the Kashmir issue is resolved to the satisfaction of the people of Kashmir. Step in and mediate and let the Kashmiri people have their fundamental right to decide their fate and destiny

Pakistan realizes the fact that war is no longer an option for Pakistan and India to resolve any issue. Pakistan hopes the Indian leadership also realizes the same and decides, like Pakistan, to sit on the table and decide the Kashmir issue according to the wishes of the people of Kashmir or let it be resolved by the UN in accordance to the UN Resolution No 47 of 1948.

Pakistan today has a military potential that any country can rightly be proud of. Pakistan built this conventional and unconventional military capability at a very great sacrifice, despite resistance, pressures and sanctions. Pakistan did so after it realized in 1971 that it shall have to possess the unconventional military capability so as to be able to defend its own territorial integrity. Pakistan is proud of all its scientists and other personnel that were involved in the process which gave Pakistan its nuclear military capability. It is this balance of military power, especially in the unconventional military capability, between Pakistan and India that has kept the two countries from going to war ever since 1971

As a major step towards political reforms I consider it of paramount importance to ask all political parties to disband armed militant wings within the next 30 days – should any party have such militant/criminal elements in their ranks. Politics and violence cannot go hand in glove if Pakistan has to have an emancipated civil society. Political militancy has to now give way to peace, progress and prosperity. There is no other option for Pakistan

Just like the National Assembly and the Senate approved the Nineteenth Amendment in an amicable manner a Committee will be formed comprising of legislators of all the political parties that will formulate new laws and amend old laws relating to the functioning of the political parties of Pakistan. This Committee shall also bring about electoral reforms of far reaching consequences so as to ensure that Pakistan always has free and fair elections.

Baluchistan is close to every single Pakistani heart. Pakistan will pay special attention towards the development and achievement of peace and tranquility in Balochistan. We shall initiate actions that will bring the Baluchi sense of deprivation to an end. This is a solemn pledge being made to the people of Baluchistan by the emerging and new Pakistan. If Pakistan has to develop Baluchistan has to be its stepping stone towards that development. In other words Pakistan can develop only if Baluchistan develops at a fast pace

Muslims, be they in Afghanistan or in Pakistan should never have been at war amongst themselves under any banner whatsoever. However, since history is history, and all this has happened, let us now find a peaceful solution in Pakistan
