The rally reaffirmed the collective commitment of the people to uphold the sanctity of the martyrs’ sacrifices and to ensure their remembrance remains undiminished. Such hateful words and speeches prove to be dishonouring to our heroes, who have laid their lives for the sanctity of the motherland without a second thought.
During discussions, participants urged the government to implement severe punishments against everyone who tries to discredit national security institutions. The citizens demanded strong measures to combat any discourse disrespecting martyrs because such behaviors should receive strict enforcement to maintain national unity and respect for brave individuals who died protecting their nation.
