Dubai: Captain Emaan Durrani, a relatively unknown officer in the Pakistan Army, has quickly become a viral sensation after a video of her went viral on social media, triggering widespread debate across Pakistan.

A clip from her speech has gone viral and become a major talking point on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), trending under the hashtag #PublicInterest.

Her impactful speech, delivered at an educational institution, has sparked a broad public discourse surrounding themes such as patriotism, service to the nation, and the importance of institutional accountability.

In the widely circulated video, Captain Emaan speaks passionately about the role of the Pakistan Army in national defense. She underlines the unwavering dedication of the military toward safeguarding the country’s interests. “Whatever the army does, it does in the public interest,” she declared.

Self-Reflection

She referenced training materials used at the Army Staff College, including a book that addresses the 1965 and 1971 wars. Instead of glorifying the military, she explained, the book encourages introspection and promotes a culture of accountability. “It’s not about claiming everything we do is flawless. It’s about making sure whatever we do serves the public,” she said.

Captain Emaan emphasized that self-accountability is a vital principle within the armed forces and called on citizens to adopt a wider sense of civic duty.

“What Have You Done for the Country”

She urged people to shift their mindset: “Instead of constantly asking what the country has done for us, we should ask what we have done for our country.” Her words reflected the famous sentiment expressed by John F. Kennedy.

She also emphasized that Pakistan’s strength doesn’t lie solely in its military but in the collective contributions of all institutions and individuals. “This country functions because of the combined efforts of all institutions,” she stated, calling for unity and mutual responsibility.

Her speech has deeply struck a chord with viewers across social media, who have applauded Captain Emaan for her sincerity, composure, and patriotic message.
