Pakistan Resolution Day holds immense significance in the history of our nation, marking the passage of the historic Lahore Resolution on March 23, 1940. This resolution laid the groundwork for the creation of an independent homeland for the Muslims of the Indian subcontinent. It was a pivotal moment that ignited the flames of freedom, ultimately leading to the establishment of Pakistan on August 14, 1947.

The celebration of Pakistan Resolution Day at CBD Punjab exemplifies the enduring spirit of patriotism and commitment to national development. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by our forefathers and inspires us to continue working towards a brighter future for Pakistan.
