Pakistan celebrates 75th Independence Day.

Pakistan celebrated 75 years of independence on Sunday 14th August with official ceremonies in all major cities.

In Karachi, the ceremony was held at the mausoleum of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of the nation.

Acting Sindh Governor Agha Siraj Durrani and Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah laid a floral wreath at the grave of Jinnah and raised the country’s flag.

Shah expressed solidarity with Kashmiris living under Indian rule.

On August 14, 1947, the independent state of Pakistan appeared on the world stage for the first time when the Indian subcontinent was formally divided into two new dominions of India and Pakistan under the terms of the Indian Independence Act, adopted by the British Parliament.
