Counter Account: ‘Pakistan Day’: A Day to Gleam ‘Green’

Month of March is special for every Pakistani because of ‘23^rd March’. The date holds a momentous position in the history of Pakistan. The word ‘Pakistan’ was never known to the world but seventy one years ago, on March 23, 1940; resolution was moved on for a separate sovereign state under the leadership of Quaid-e-Azam by A.K. Fazl-ul-Haq, which is considered a major milestone in making of ‘Pakistan’. The day is thus celebrated as “Pakistan Day’. The name itself shows the nation’s love for Pakistan. 23^rd March is a public holiday and Pakistanis celebrate it with great enthusiasm and passion. At the dawn of Pakistan Day, Pakistan’s national flag is being hoisted on all government and public buildings, change of guard occurs at mausoleums of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah and Allama Muhammad Iqbal. Special festivals, parties, TV shows, national songs in accordance with 23^rd March are telecasted throughout the day. The nation celebrates the day with full zeal which shows its love for its country.

In recent times, though Pakistan is passing through hard-hitting phase, political and economic instability has encircled Pakistan badly, hostile foreign elements have also jumped in to fuel the fuss, but still the will to fight is pushing nation towards a prosperous Pakistan. There are still silver lines in darkness and hope for light at end of black tunnel is not gone yet. Pakistan Day revives the enthusiasm to fight this darkness.

‘Pakistan Day’ reminds us the famous words of Quaid-e-Azam that “The Hindus and Muslims belong to two different religious philosophies, social customs, and literature. They neither inter-marry nor inter-dine together, and indeed they belong to two different civilizations which are based mainly on conflicting ideas and conceptions.” The ‘Pakistan Resolution’ created deep down a sense of nationalism, integrity, solidarity, and enthusiasm for getting out of slavery. These words remind us that Pakistan was based on two nation theory and we have to keep our identity above high.

Lately, ‘Elections season’ is moving closer. Nation is now firm in showing its uniformity to fight all instabilities, insurgencies, corruption and terrorism. The spirits have gone high for a ‘Change Pakistan’. Now people don’t die for their political affiliation rather they are ready to die for revolution in Pakistan, at times when politicians are vowing for democracy as the best political system then nation is telling politicians to follow a system which can bring best for Pakistan. The patriotism is at its peak. On this 23^rd March, nation is showing harmony by spreading ‘Green’. If the social media is being followed, Pakistanis have turned their dp’s Green. The more exciting thing is that most of the pages of facebook have shown unity by placing identical dp’s and cover photos. In this ‘election season’ a big number of people have rejected to place political flags and they have chosen Pakistani flag for their representation, which shows patriotism and love for Pakistan. A tribute must be given to the following FB pages to prove solidarity on ‘Pakistan Day’, which shows their pledge for a change Pakistan:
