Pakistan Day observed across K-P
Like the rest of the country, Pakistan Day was observed across Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa on Saturday. Several functions, walks and exhibitions were held across the province.
K-P Chief Minister Ali Amin Khan Gandapur congratulated the entire nation, especially the people of the province, on the occasion.
He said that, 84 years ago, the Muslims of South Asia had unanimously decided on this day to establish an independent Islamic state and passed a unanimous resolution to achieve the goal.
In his statement, the CM said that, seven years after the passage of the resolution, the dream of an independent Islamic state had come true in the shape of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Gandapur said that the establishment of Pakistan had been the result of a long and tireless struggle and great sacrifices by the Muslims of the subcontinent.
The chief minister also called for joint efforts for the survival and security of the motherland and for its stability.
“The best way to pay homage to the struggle and sacrifices of our ancestors is to work honestly for the country,” he added.
