The issuance of this stamp serves as a reminder of Pakistan’s struggle for freedom, the sacrifices made along the way, and the government’s commitment to national stability and progress. It is a tribute to the resilience and achievements of its citizens, reflecting the spirit of “Azm-e-Istiqbaal.”
The stamp is intended to inspire future generations by highlighting the enduring legacy of Pakistan’s struggle for independence and the significant milestones achieved in its modern history.
