The nation will celebrate Pakistan Day today Wednesday with a commitment to ensure progress, prosperity and a strong defence of the country.
The day will be observed to commemorate the passage of historic Lahore Resolution on this day in 1940, under which Muslims of the sub-continent set the agenda of a separate homeland for themselves.
The day will dawn with thirty-one-gun salute in the federal capital and twenty-one-gun salute in provincial capitals.
Special prayers will be offered in mosques after Fajar prayers for progress and prosperity of the country.
