Marka-e-Haq (Battle of Truth) refers to the 19-day military conflict with India extending from 22 April to 10 May 2025.
On the 6th-7th In May last year, India launched an unprovoked attack on Pakistan, following an attack on tourists in India’s illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
During the 87-hour conflict, Pakistan shot down eight Indian fighter jets, including the French-made Rafale, and dozens of drones. The war between the two nuclear-armed nations ended on May 10 with an armistice agreement brokered by the United States.
Earlier this week on Thursday, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Lt. Gen. Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said Pakistan was “preparing for the future war” while asserting that the country had not underestimated New Delhi but “placed them [India] where they are.”
The ISPR DG made the remarks while addressing a press conference along with Rear Admiral Shifaat Ali Khan and Air Vice Marshal Tariq Ghazi to mark the first anniversary of Marka-e-Haq.
He noted that Pakistan’s military had defeated an enemy “five times its size”, and further described India as a “terror state”.
Separately, the Islamabad Traffic Police has issued a notice ahead of a planned event to be held to mark an anniversary of Marka-e-Haq on 10 May 2026.
According to the notice issued on X by the Deputy Commissioner of Islamabad, temporary traffic diversions will remain in place across several key routes in the capital from 18.00 to 12.00 on 10 May.
