A rally to mark Yaum-e-Tashakur (Day of Gratitude) was taken out at the University of Sindh on Friday under the leadership of Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr. Khalil-ur-Rehman Khoumbati.

The rally commenced from the back gate of the Administration Block (AC-II) and passed through various departments including Planning & Development, the Controller’s Office and the Directorate of Admissions.

It culminated in a large demonstration at the main entrance of the Administration Building.

Carrying placards and banners, the participants raised passionate slogans in support of Pakistan and its armed forces, while strongly criticizing the Indian government, BJP and RSS.

The event witnessed a charged atmosphere filled with patriotic fervor.

Addressing the gathering, Dr. Khoumbati said that they were celebrating Yaum-e-Tashakur with our entire nation.

“The successful targeting of 26 locations by Pakistan Air Force inside India and the safe return of our jets is a matter of national pride,” he said.

He further stated that the entire Pakistani nation stood united behind its brave soldiers and security forces.

“Our Air Force demonstrated not only military strength but also strategic wisdom and precision. This victory is a message to the enemies of peace that Pakistan will never compromise on its sovereignty," he said.

“We, as educators, have the responsibility to instill patriotism and awareness among our youth," he said and added that the Modi-led government was promoting regional instability and the world must take notice of India’s aggressive posture.

“Our protest is a voice of solidarity with the people of Kashmir who continue to suffer under Indian occupation,” he said.

He added that Universities were not only centers of knowledge but also of national consciousness and resistance.

“Through this rally, we reaffirm our trust in Pakistan's military leadership and their commitment to national security,” he said.

The rally was attended by a large number of university employees, students, faculty members and administrative officers.

The demonstrators dispersed peacefully after the speeches.
