A resolution that means a lot
Pakistan Day, known as the Pakistan Resolution Day. On this day — March 23 — a formal political statement adopted by All-india Muslim League in Lahore in 1940. It called for the creation of ‘independent states’ for Muslims in north-western and eastern British India. Because of this day world witnessed a new country named Pakistan on the globe on 14th August 1947.
The name ‘Pakistan’ had been proposed by Choudhary Rahmat Ali in his Pakistan Declaration earlier in 1933, Muhammad Ali Jinnah and other leaders had kept firm their belief in Hindu-muslim unity. However, the volatile political climate gave the idea stronger backing.
The roots of the struggle for independence of British India can be traced back to the uprising of 1857, which started off as a rebellion of the British East India Company soldiers but soon took the shape of a freedom struggle and caused a major threat to Company Raj (Company Rule) in an undivided India.
On this day the main feature of Pakistan Day celebrations is a parade at Constitution Avenue in Islamabad. An award ceremony is organised where the president gives military and civilian awards to recognise recipients’ achievements and contributions to Pakistan.
In the history of our country, it is crucial that people motivated by religious faith develop a deep appreciation becomes the weakness of our life-systems.

It is already late and so much damage has been done. Even now there are signs of stress in every corner of our land. As we look at what is happening before our eyes, and think of the horrendous consequences for the land and the people.
For the past number of years we have experienced political instability, economic decline and growth in armed conflict.
As we thank God for the many ways He has gited this land we must resolve to cherish and protect this for the future of Pakistan.
