Karachi, March 1, 2026: President of the United Business Group (UBG) and former president of the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI), Zubair Tufail, has said that the entire Pakistani nation stands united alongside its armed forces and security institutions in the prevailing situation.
In a statement issued by UBG Central Spokesperson Gulzar Feroz, Tufail termed the recent tensions from the Afghan side as “unwise” and described Operation “Ghazab-ul-Haq” as a timely, courageous and decisive step to safeguard Pakistan’s sovereignty, security and national dignity.
He said Pakistan is a sovereign and self-respecting state, fully capable of defending its borders and national interests. “Any attempt to challenge Pakistan’s sovereignty will be met with a strong and befitting response,” he added.
Tufail alleged that unprovoked aggression targeted civilian populations inside Pakistan, prompting the armed forces to respond effectively through Operation “Ghazab-ul-Haq,” achieving notable successes. He maintained that while Pakistan desires peace, its commitment to peace should not be misconstrued as weakness.
“The nation is united, dignified and firmly stands with the Armed Forces of Pakistan for the protection of national security,” he said.
He further remarked that the Pakistan Army has consistently thwarted hostile designs and remains vigilant and prepared to defend the country’s borders. According to Tufail, any attempts by hostile elements to undermine Pakistan’s peace and stability will fail in the face of national unity and the professional capabilities of the armed forces.
