Irony of Pak's Operation 'Bunyan-un-Marsoos': Means 'firm foundation' but it lies shattered

Pakistan has launched Operation ‘Bunyan-un-Marsoos’ to attack India, which means ‘firm foundation’, but the foundation appears to have shattered already as India has struck three main airbases of Pakistan.

Irony of Pak's Operation 'Bunyan-un-Marsoos': Means 'firm foundation' but it lies shattered

In response to India’s Operation Sindoor launched against terrorists, Pakistan has lanched ‘Bunyan-un-Marsoos’.

The term, Bunyan-un-Marsoos, means an ‘firm foundation’, but the irony is that the foundation appears to have shattered already.

In response to Pakistani drone and missile attacks on the intervening night of Friday and Saturday, India struck at least three airbases in Pakistan . These airbases include Nur Khan airbase at Rawalpindi’s Chaklala, Murid airbase in Chakwal district of Punjab, and Shorkot airbase in Punjab Jhang district. The Nur Khan airbase is next door to the Pakistani Army headquarters, the true seat of power in the country.

The name, Bunyan-un-Marsoos, has been taken from the holy book of Quran.

The phrase has roots in a verse in Quran that roughly translates to “a firm and compact structure” or “a solidly constructed building”.

The complete verse in the Quran says: “Surely Allah loves those who fight in His way in ranks as if they were a firm and compact structure (bunyanun marsus).”

As an Islamic nation, Pakistan has often invoked religion and Quranic references in its aggression on India.

The phrase metaphorically describes believers of Islam who are united in purpose and action and stand together in harmony and mutual support-like bricks in a wall against an external threat. However, Pakistan has corrupted the meaning of the holy phrase as Pakistan is not engaged in any defensive action. Pakistan is using the phrase for attacks on India in support of terrorists.

Since Friday evening, Pakistan has launched hundreds of drones at India and has also attacked with missiles and fighter planes. Pakistan also launched a ballistic missile at Delhi that was intercepted over Sirsa, Haryana. Most of the projectiles have been intercepted and there are also reports of up to Pakistani fighter plane being shot down in the skies above India. Fierce dogfights have been reported in the skies above Jammu and Kashmir’s Srinagar.
