Pakistan Day History

Pakistan Day seeks to commemorate the Lahore Resolution of 1940 and the adoption of the first constitution of Pakistan in 1956. The Lahore Resolution called for an independent federation of Muslim-led provinces. It laid the groundwork for the formation of an independent Muslim country for Muslim Indians. The constitution laid out laws for the republic of Pakistan, the first Islamic republic. This day aims to celebrate the forming of Pakistan as a nation.

Pakistan Day is celebrated annually on 23 March. Celebrations typically include military and civilian parades.
