This year, Pakistanis celebrated Independence Day on Tuesday. It was different this time, the passion, the enthusiasm, the celebration, the crowd everything maybe because of the feeling of Naya Pakistan. Imran Khan is yet to become the PM of Pakistan soon and people have high hopes from him and the country.

On Tuesday, the United States extended its best wishes on Pakistan’s Independence Day and expressed the hope to further strengthen strong bonds between the two countries in the years ahead. (Not this is a huge deal) Pakistan’s Ambassador to the United States Ali Jehangir Siddiqui hoisted the national flag at the Pakistan Embassy in Washington to mark the day, which was followed by a brief commemorative event. Pakistan’s world-famous singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan was to be the highlight of the event performing different patriotic songs.

Azaadi celebrations were also held in London (how can we forget to mention that) by the British Pakistanis. A flag hoisting ceremony was held at the Pakistan High Commision in London. The flag was unfurled to the tunes of Pakistan national anthem in front of a large crowd.

The celebrations at the Wagah Border left us speechless. Two reasons, firstly it was amazing and secondly, we are expecting great improvements in relations between India and Pakistan after this.
Even Google paid a tribute and celebrated with us.
