'Mafia has hollowed out every institution of Pakistan', Farrukh grills opposition

ISLAMABAD: Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Farrukh Habib on Wednesday said Prime Minister Imran Khan was pursuing the only agenda of making Pakistan a welfare state on the pattern of State of Madina.

Congratulating the entire nation on Pakistan Day, the minister said in a tweet said March 23, 1940, was a day of making the Muslims emotionally prepared for the realization of their dream.

The objective of the creation of Pakistan was to make it an Islamic democratic and welfare state, he added.

The nation is celebrating Pakistan Day on Wednesday with a commitment to ensure progress, prosperity and a strong defence of the country.

The day is observed to commemorate the passage of the historic Lahore Resolution on 23rd March in 1940, under which Muslims of the sub-continent set the agenda of a separate homeland for themselves.

The day dawned with a thirty-one-gun salute in the federal capital and a twenty-one gun salute in provincial capitals. Special prayers were offered in mosques after Fajar prayers for the progress and prosperity of the country.

The spectacular and colourful Pakistan Day Military parade went underway at Parade Avenue in Islamabad today with three wings of the armed forces displaying their professionalism and military prowess.
