Lahore: March 23 is a day of renewal of commitment to the
homeland. Pakistan Day is being celebrated with national enthusiasm across the
country today.
At the beginning of the day, a 31-gun salute was given in
the federal capital and 21 in the provincial capitals. The air echoed with the
slogan of Takbir.
In addition, after the Fajr prayers in the mosques, prayers
were offered for the security and progress of the country and the nation.
This time, in view of the tense situation in the Middle
East, Pakistan Day is being celebrated with simplicity as part of the ongoing
austerity drive at the national level. The parade to mark the day has been
canceled.
The main flag-hoisting ceremony was held in Lahore, where
Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif hoisted the national flag. Information Minister
Attaullah Tarar also attended the ceremony.
