This year, Independence Day celebrations across the country were in full swing. And why not? It was a supremely special occasion due to the fact that Pakistan has completed 70 years. This country and its people have been through a lot. Unrelenting problems have snapped from all directions in the past decades, yet our fellow Pakistanis kept the national spirit alive this Independence Day.

Prior to the day, the only colors we saw in the streets, roadsides, neighborhoods and almost every corner of the country were green and white. The nation was prepped up for the biggest celebration in the approaching time. Then the dawn came. The day when it was all going to happen. Pakistanis from the seashore in Karachi till the highest peak up-North began their celebrations. Thanks to the Internet, we can take a look at everything!

Every Pakistani in their own way!
That’s not all; more than 25 thousand Pakistanis used this Facebook DP filter by Telenor on Independence Day
The key takeaway: every Pakistan in their own way, no matter how little or large, leaped forward to mark this occasion. It was not only confined to the major cities and mega-budget celebrations but by combining individual efforts for an unconditional love for this country. Everyone did their own part and it’s making us proud!
How did you celebrate the occasion of 70th Independence of Pakistan?
