It may be recalled that Pakistan Day was celebrated on Thursday with a renewed promise to transform Pakistan into a true Islamic welfare state as per the vision of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah and to ensure its prosperity, progress, and a strong defense.
Pakistan Day was observed to mark the historic Lahore Resolution adopted on 23rd March in 1940, under which Muslims of the sub-continent set the goal of a separate motherland for themselves. The day dawned with 31-gun salute in Islamabad and 21-gun salute in provincial capitals. Special prayers were offered in mosques following Fajar prayers for prosperity and progress of Pakistan.
