Millennials celebrate Pakistan Day at Aiwan-e-Sadr

Islamabad
March 23 has a special significance in the history of Pakistan. The day commemorates the adoption of Pakistan Resolution in 1940 where our Quaid Muhammad Ali Jinnah demanded a separate homeland for Muslims. The dream that our ‘Poet of the East’ Allama Muhammad Iqbal saw, set its foundation in the history of the world at Minto Park, Lahore, on this day.
The students of Roots Millennium Schools (RMS) had the honour of participating and hosting the Pakistan Day celebrations recorded at Aiwan-e-Sadr in presence of the President Mamnoon Hussain and the First Lady. Ambassadors, senior diplomats, dignitaries & celebrities were also present at the event, says a press release.
The theme of the programme was ‘Jeevay Jeevay Pakistan’. The celebrations comprised of performances on national songs and cultural items which were presented by the young students.
The true colours of Pakistan were depicted by the students who looked adorable dressed up in the traditional outfits. The recitation from the Holy Quran sent the message of stability and peace. The performance on the national song ‘Sohni Dharti’ filled the air with a renewed spirit of nationalism and patriotism.
The Millennials added grace to the beautiful song from the past. A special tribute to the victims of the APS Peshawar performed by the Millennials deeply touched the hearts of the audience and brought tears to the eyes of many who were present at the event. The captivating performances by the RMS students left everyone in a state of ecstasy. The Millennium Schools was one of the very few schools selected from across Pakistan to take part in these celebrations.
