The nation is celebrating Pakistan Day on Sunday with a renewed commitment to transforming the country into an Islamic welfare state as envisioned by Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
The day marks the anniversary of the Lahore Resolution, passed on March 23, 1940, which laid the foundation for a separate homeland for Muslims of the Subcontinent.
Celebrations began with a 31-gun salute in Islamabad and 21-gun salutes in provincial capitals. Special prayers were offered after Fajr for the nation’s progress and prosperity.
This year, the Pakistan Day parade was held at Aiwan-e-Sadr instead of its traditional venue at Shakarparian Parade Ground.
President Asif Ali Zardari is the chief guest, alongside Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, service chiefs, and other dignitaries.
Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee and the Services Chiefs have extended heartfelt congratulations to the nation on Pakistan Day.
According to ISPR, the military leadership said this occasion epitomizes the unwavering resolve of the Pakistani people.
They said with steadfast determination and divine guidance; Pakistan remains resolute in fortifying its democratic institutions and safeguarding the well-being of its citizens.
The military brass reaffirmed their unwavering commitment to protecting the sacred frontiers of the motherland and upholding sovereignty.
