  "account": "Defence Minister Khawaja Asif emphasized on Saturday that Pakistan's triumph in the 2025 conflict with India, known as Marka-e-Haq, bolstered the nation's global reputation. Marka-e-Haq commenced when India falsely implicated Pakistan in the April 22 Pahalgam attack and concluded with a ceasefire on May 10 following Operation Bunyanun Marsoos, a successful operation by Pakistan's armed forces. Speaking at the University of Central Punjab's annual convocation in Sialkot, Asif highlighted Pakistan's victory over a foe five times its size, noting that the Pakistan Armed Forces had shot down numerous enemy aircraft. He also announced that Pakistan's achievements had been recognized by international media. Asif reinforced that Pakistan's armed forces had been combating terrorism for decades while upholding their duty to protect the country's borders. The minister underscored that the youth represented the country's most precious asset, stating that educated and skilled young people could significantly contribute to national development and prosperity.",
