PM Shehbaz salutes brave police for their frontline role in combating terrorism

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Monday praised the unwavering dedication of the police force, commending their vital role in maintaining public order and foiling terror plots through persistent efforts against elements trying to destabilise the nation.

In his message on Police Martyrs' Day, the premier said, "Today, we honour the courageous officers and personnel of our police who, braving all weather conditions and staying away from their families, remain committed to their duty and lay down their lives to uphold law and order across the country."

He further added, "We also pay heartfelt tribute to the families of our martyrs, who gave up their tomorrows for the safety of our today."

"In the war on terrorism, more than 8,000 police officers and men sacrificed their blood for the sake of the homeland and, as a frontline defence force, saved millions of children of the country from orphanhood as their children became parentless," he added.

He said recently, five Elite Force soldiers were martyred while conducting an operation against dacoits in Rahim Yar Khan.

"Thousands of police martyrs, including these martyrs, are our pride," he remarked.

He said, "Pakistan Police has demonstrated its professional capabilities all over the world, and the medals and awards won at the recent World Police Summit 2025 are clear proof of this.

The use of modern technology in policing for the establishment of public peace and order and the successful prevention of crime is heartening, as it will make the safety of citizens more sound and effective."

"The role of police remained vital in the establishment of anti-terrorism forces in all four provinces, joint operations and cooperation with the Pakistan Army and Rangers, during natural disasters and other emergencies, due to which the citizens’ perspective towards the police has improved and the performance of the police has enhanced significantly," he observed.

In the past years, the prime minister said, the police conducted hundreds of operations in the war against terrorism to foil the enemy's intentions of creating insecurity and chaos in Pakistan.

"From the beaches of Gwadar to the soaring mountains of Gilgit-Baltistan, every police officer assigned to protect the country is a source of pride for me and the entire nation," he added.
