He credited special divine mercy for the nation’s victory. This victory was achieved against a more powerful enemy.
The Field Marshal provided a historical example. He referred to the Battle of Badr (Ghazwa-e-Badr). Muslims at that time threw dust. This blinded the enemy forces. They achieved victory with Allah’s help. Similarly, he said, Pakistan has achieved eminence with God’s assistance.
