Over 5,000 overseas Pakistanis and Kashmiris gather in Portugal's capital for Marka-e-Haq celebrations at a rally organized by EU Pak Friendship Federation Portugal.
Thousands of Overseas Pakistanis, Kashmiris, and members of the Sikh community from across Europe gathered in Lisbon on Sunday for a large-scale event celebrating Marka-e-Haq and Operation Bunyan Marsoos. Organized by the EU Pak Friendship Federation Portugal and Tehreek-e-Azadi Kashmir Europe, the rally drew an impressive turnout of over 5,000 attendees who came together to honor these significant events. The gathering took place in Lisbon's central square, with loudspeakers blaring patriotic songs and speeches from prominent figures emphasizing unity among diaspora communities.
The event highlighted the strong bond between Pakistan and its European allies, fostering a sense of pride and belonging for those living abroad. Marka-e-Haq commemorates the victory of Pakistani forces over India in the 1971 war, while Operation Bunyan Marsoos is an ongoing mission to secure Kashmir’s future within Pakistan. Both celebrations serve as reminders of the sacrifices made by soldiers and civilians alike.
Participants expressed their gratitude for the support provided by European countries during challenging times. A representative from Tehreek-e-Azadi Kashmir Europe shared heartfelt remarks about the importance of these commemorations, stating that they not only honor past heroes but also inspire current generations to continue fighting for justice and freedom. The rally concluded with a vibrant cultural show featuring traditional dances, music, and food stalls representing various ethnic groups present.
