Motiwala emphasized that Pakistan is a peaceful country whose leadership, armed forces, and people have always advocated for dialogue, coexistence and diplomacy. “However, peace should never be made for weakness. When our sovereignty, our citizens and our national dignity are attacked, we have the full right to defend ourselves with full force – and we will do it.”
Motiwala announced full support for Pakistan’s armed forces. He added, “We salute Atal’s commitment to defend his professionalism, courage and defend his homeland. His timely and effective reaction has not only shown military preparations but has also promoted the morale of the entire nation.”
Motiwala emphasized, “At the time of the national crisis, unity is our biggest power. We demand the business community across Pakistan.” Now is not partition. The time has come for the world to show that Pakistan is united – one nation, one people, a voice. “
He noted that the KCCI has always believed that economic stability is national stability, and that the Chamber has worked hard for decades to empower the industry, support exports, support jobs and contribute to the national treasury. He added, “But at the time of war or crisis, the business community’s full force is dedicated to the first and national defense.”
“If needed, we are ready for our resources, networks and influence to support national preparations through relief efforts or strategic planning,” he said. We assure the government and the armed forces that the business community is not only ready to play its role in this patriotic duty.
He also appealed to the entire business community, trade associations, institutions and industries to be prepared for any conclusion by rapidly adopting civil defense protocol and performing preparation exercises.
Bulani appealed to the international community, especially the UN, Islamic Cooperation Organization (OIC), China, the United States, Russia and the European Union to take immediate and decisive steps to overcome tensions. “It is important that the global powers intervene to prevent further life’s loss, restore the region calmly, and are responsible for all the international principles of conflict, severe violations of Geneva Conventions, and deliberately targeting the Indian government,” he said.
Bulani noted that Pakistan’s armed forces have permanently prevented strategic prevention and responsibility, but have warned that they will not be tested. “We never start aggression but will always respond with decisive and dignity,” he added. It is time for our opponents to understand that Pakistan’s soul cannot be broken. “
Paying tribute to the martyrs and paying the flexibility of the people, Bulani said that the courage by the families who lost their loved ones in these attacks, by soldiers on the next lines, and the Line of Control (LOC), was nothing short of bravely by bravery. “He is the real protector of Pakistan, and we stand with them proudly and respectfully.”
Bilani added, “The purpose of the enemy is to engage us, divide us, and tie Pakistan’s progress – but they will fail. Every missile that comes to our soil only strengthens our commitment. Every life is a waste, and every attack unites us.”
He said, “We are proud to say that Pakistan is not alone. We have the support of the prayers of our people, the power of our armed forces, and the principles of justice and peace. Our flag flies more than today because it not only represents one country, but also the 240 million Patriots.”

Calling the incident a dangerous threat to regional peace and a cruel threat to brutality, he expressed deep sorrow and solidarity with the families of the victims.
Naqi praised a sharp response through Pakistan’s armed forces, who dropped five enemy fighter jets, and sent a clear message that the nation was ready to defend its sovereignty.
