Expressing his gratitude to President Asif Ali Zardari, PML-N President Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, MQM Convener Dr Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui, Chaudhry Salik Hussain, Abdul Aleem Khan, Khalid Magsi, Aimal Wali Khan, Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar, Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar, and all members of the House and its committees, Shehbaz said their cooperation had turned a collective national vision into reality.
He said the establishment of the constitutional court represented the pinnacle of democratic evolution, reaffirming civilian and judicial collaboration. The prime minister said the Chief Justice of Pakistan would continue to head the Judicial Commission, the Supreme Judicial Council, and the Law and Justice Commission, adding that the government would always seek the judiciary’s guidance in protecting the Constitution.
Paying tribute to late Senator Irfan Siddiqui, the prime minister lauded his lifelong service to the nation, academia, and public discourse. “He was among the most loyal companions of Mian Nawaz Sharif, and his academic insight will remain a beacon for generations,” he said, praying for eternal peace for the departed soul and strength for his family.

Condemning recent terrorist attacks, PM Shehbaz denounced the assault on Cadet College Wana, comparing it to the tragic APS incident, and praised the armed forces for rescuing all students and eliminating the militants. He also strongly condemned the Islamabad Judicial Complex suicide attack, which claimed 12 lives, including lawyers, and prayed for the martyrs and the injured.
The premier said intelligence reports had confirmed the involvement of elements linked to India and Afghanistan, recalling that Pakistan had already presented undeniable proof of Indian involvement in the Jaffar Express attack. He vowed that the “Khawarij terrorists” would face a decisive response.

Highlighting Pakistan’s diplomatic and defence achievements, PM Shehbaz said the country’s victory in the ‘Marka-e-Haq’ war against India in February and bold policy decisions had enhanced its global stature. He said the conferring of the title of Field Marshal on COAS General Syed Asim Munir had been widely hailed, and the government had now decided to formally incorporate the post into the Constitution alongside other service chiefs.

“Our security forces remain the vanguard of the fight against terrorism,” he said. “We must move forward together, as one nation, for Pakistan’s peace, prosperity, and unity.”
