Islamabad, Today, Pakistan Day is being celebrated across the country with immense national zeal and fervor, reflecting a collective commitment to adhere to the vision of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah for a true Islamic welfare state. The day underscores the nation’s aspirations for progress, prosperity, and a robust defense mechanism, embodying the spirit of the historic Lahore Resolution passed on March 23, 1940, which laid the foundation for a separate homeland for the Muslims of the sub-continent.

Special prayers were held in mosques after Fajr, invoking blessings for the nation’s well-being, unity, and prosperity. National broadcasters, including Radio Pakistan, PTV, and other television channels, have dedicated special programming to illuminate the importance of Pakistan Day, paying homage to the pioneers of the Pakistan Movement.
