Nation marks Pakistan Day with Patriotic Zeal and Zest

Today on Pakistan Day, the people reaffirm their commitment to making Pakistan a true Islamic welfare state in accordance with Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah's vision and to ensuring its advancement, prosperity, and strong defense.

The day is marked to honor the historic Lahore Resolution, which was adopted on March 23, 1940, and set the subcontinent's Muslims' goal of creating a separate nation.

The day began with a 21-gun salute in the provincial capitals and a 31-gun salute in the federal capital. Following the Fajar prayers, special prayers were said for the country's success and prosperity in the mosques.

The Pakistan Day Military Parade of the Armed Forces at Aiwan-e-Sadr has been rescheduled until Saturday because of bad weather.

Pakistan was created as a consequence of political and constitutional struggle, according to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, and the country's future depends on upholding the constitution in law and spirit.

Pakistan, according to the Prime Minister, is destined to soar to high heights. To make this a reality, he added, we must establish unity within our ranks, arm ourselves with a sense of purpose for the country, and make a commitment to fight in a manner consistent with our forefathers' legacy.

According to him, the founding of Pakistan was unquestionably a miracle of the 20th century. The Prime Minister said as a member of the international community, Pakistan has always played the role of a responsible nation in the resolution of problems facing humanity and the establishment of global peace.
