ISLAMABAD:  Pakistan-IndiSpeaker National Assembly Raja Pervez Ashraf on Tuesday said during the 1965a war, Major Raja Aziz Bhatti Shaheed not only valiantly thwarted the Indian forces’ erroneous attempt to breach Lahore’s defenses but also inflicted significant losses upon them.

“His courageous actions played a pivotal role in determining the war’s outcome,” he said in a message on his 58th shahadat anniversary.
