Nation celebrates Pakistan Day with patriotic zeal and pride

The nation is celebrating Pakistan Day today with national fervor, marking a commitment to progress, prosperity, and a strong defense of the country.

The day is observed to commemorate the passage of historic Lahore Resolution on 23rd March in 1940, under which Muslims of the sub-continent set the agenda of a separate homeland for themselves.

The celebrations began with a 31-gun salute in the federal capital and a 21-gun salute in the provinces. Special prayers were offered in mosques after Fajr prayers for the country’s prosperity and progress. Radio Pakistan, PTV, and other TV channels will air special programs to highlight the significance of the day and pay tribute to the leaders and workers of the Pakistan Movement.
