ISLAMABAD – A stunning grand military parade was in the federal capital on Wednesday as part of the Pakistan Day celebrations.
The day is observed on March 23 every year to commemorate the passage of the historic Lahore Resolution on this day in 1940, under which Muslims of the sub-continent set the agenda of a separate homeland for themselves.
