The day commemorates the Lahore Resolution, passed on March 23, 1940, by the All-India Muslim League, which requested a separate homeland for Muslims in the British Indian Empire.
Messages from President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif were read to the audience throughout the ceremony, emphasizing its significance as a watershed moment in the struggle for Pakistan’s formation.
