Presidency cancels Independence Day celebrations
The presidency on Friday cancelled the Independence Day celebrations in the wake of the worst-ever floods in the country.
However, Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani will deliver a speech tomorrow in which he will take the nation into confidence regarding the government’s relief and rehabilitation operations in the flood-affected areas.
Earlier Chief of Army Staff Ashfaq Parvez Kayani had also cancelled the Independance Day functions of the army, so as to use the fund for flood relief instead.
