Pakistan is observing the 76th death anniversary of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah with solemnity and reverence today.
The nation honors the legacy of its founding father, whose leadership played a pivotal role in the creation of Pakistan.
Born on December 25, 1876, Jinnah led the All-India Muslim League from 1913 until Pakistan's establishment on August 14, 1947.
Following the creation of the new state, he served as Pakistan’s first Governor-General until his death on September 11, 1948.
To commemorate the day, various programmes have been organized across the country by educational institutions, political, social, and cultural organizations.
Activities include Quran Khawani and Fateha at the Quaid's Mausoleum in Karachi, where government representatives will lay floral wreaths and offer prayers.
