The federal cabinet launched the "Hurmat-e-Parcham Campaign" on Thursday in response to the attack on the Pakistani embassy in Germany, where protesters removed the national flag.

Federal Minister for Information Attaullah Tarar also shared a photo with the national flag, accompanied by the couplet "Chand Roshan Chamakta Sitara Rahey, Sab Se Oncha Yeh Jhanda Hamara Rahey," sending a clear message to Pakistan's adversaries.

Minister for Petroleum Dr. Musadik Malik, Minister of State for Finance and Revenue Ali Pervaiz Malik, and Minister for Commerce Jam Kamal Khan also shared pictures with the national flag, including the message "Pakistan Zindabad."

Attaullah Tarar called on political activists, journalists, intellectuals, teachers, lawyers, doctors, farmers, labourers, students, businessmen, patriotic Pakistanis abroad, and the youth to join the "Hurmat-e-Parcham Campaign." He emphasised that the Pakistani flag is a symbol of national identity and sovereignty, representing the unity and solidarity of the nation.

Tarar noted that August, the month of Pakistan’s independence, is an appropriate time to continue the "Hurmat-e-Parcham Campaign," underscoring that respecting the national flag is a responsibility for every Pakistani.

The "Hurmat-e-Parcham" campaign by the federal ministers has been well received on social media.
