ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s latest military campaign has been officially designated “Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos,” a name loaded with historical and strategic symbolism.
Derived from Arabic, “Bunyan-un-Marsoos” translates to “a solid structure made of molten lead,” signifying unshakable unity and defense. The term is used in the Quran (Surah As-Saff, 61:4), describing believers as a disciplined and resilient force standing in battle as a fortified wall.
This nomenclature reflects Pakistan’s intended message of strength, resilience, and unwavering national resolve in the face of rising Indian hostilities. Military insiders suggest that the name was deliberately chosen to signal a defensive stance that remains ready to absorb pressure yet capable of delivering powerful counterstrikes.
The campaign represents not only a military maneuver but also a psychological one, projecting unity and resolve to domestic and international audiences.
