Beyond the Gun Salutes, Rs3tr​

MG News | September 06, 2026 at 10:35 AM GMT+05:00

September 06, 2026 (MLN): Before most of the country had fully woken up this morning, the guns had already spoken. 31 guns were fired in Islamabad, and 21 in each provincial capital as Pakistan marked Defence Day, commemorating 61 years since the 1965 war.
Radio and television are running the familiar reel: tributes to the Shuhada, salutes to the Ghazis, speeches invoking sacrifice and resolve. It is a script the nation knows by heart.

But this time, the number that actually matters to anyone with money in Pakistan was never meant for television. It surfaced three months ago, on June 12, in the fine print of the federal budget: Rs3.01 trillion for defence in FY2026-27, the largest allocation in the country's history, up 17.7% on the year, and the third consecutive year of double-digit growth.
