  • Pakistan Defence Day Speech in English #02: Respected Principal, Teachers, and Dear Classmates, Good Morning!
    Pakistan Defense Day Speech in English #01: Respected Principal, teacher, and audience, Assalam-o-Alaikum! We all have gathered here today to proudly celebrate the day of our military valor. Today is the day our soldiers surprised the enemy with their ability to defend the country. Let me tell you about the biggest tank battle after World war 2. On Punjab plains, the battle of tanks happened. Pakistani troops successfully defended their homeland by destroying the enemies’ tanks. They laid their lives but did not allow enemy tanks to enter Pakistani soil. Then these destroyed tanks were used to make the Nishan-e- Haider medal for Raja Aziz Bhatti. Respected audience, this region has a history of producing one of the bravest of its time. 6 September valor is the perfect example. If you look at the facts about defense day of Pakistan, you will see how bravely the Pakistan army fought. At 3 am, Indian forces entered Pakistan without formally declaring war. Then, when the war ended on 22 September, Between these 17 days, India did not get a single piece of land from Pakistan which it hoped. After our history, let’s talk about celebrations. We celebrate this auspicious day in different ways. Parades in ceremonies and functions in educational institutes are also a must. Some people post defence day quotes on their social media. But let me tell you. The biggest way of celebrating this is to make a promise to yourself that we will protect our country at any cost. We will protect our country from any foreign aggression.

    Journal of Historical Studies Vol. V. No. II (July-December 2019) PP 105-117 Deconstructive Analysis of Raheel Sharif’s Defence Day Speech (6th September 2016) Hira Ali Lecturer, Department of English, University of Sargodha, Sargodha, Pakistan Sidra Iqbal Research Scholar, Department of English, University of Sargodha, Sargodha, Pakistan Abstract: Research explores the national security state of our motherland after different military operations, in the light of General Raheel Sharif’s speech on Defence Day 2016. In his memorable speech, he pays tribute to the martyrs of nation especially the martyrs of 1965 War. His speech was related to the main issue i.e terrorism which is continuously threatening the internal security of the nation. In order to root out the nexus of terrorism from Pakistan, various anti-terror military operations were held in North-Waziristan, FATA Agency and other tribal areas across Pak-Afghan border to maintain peace in the country. Through his speech, he gives a loud and clear message to the enemies of nation that Pakistan is not only a strong nation but now it is also invincible. He further elucidates the progress of economic ties by China- Pakistan Economic Corridor project(CPEC) and Pak-Afghan good relationship to establish peace and prosperity in the region. For this detailed analysis Jacques Derrida’s stance of Deconstruction theory is applied which allows reader the authority to interpret as many meanings as much possible. The reader is not restricted to read the text within its given meanings. The reader can act as analyser of a text and dig out multiple meanings from it.
