Celebrating Pakistan Day is one thing, and going overboard is something else – 23rd March stands as a day of great value for every Pakistani. However, lately, we, the people, seem to forget the great act that happened on this auspicious day that lead to our liberty and freedom. We have no right, in our celebration, to cause others trouble and harm – this stupidity will get us nowhere. We as a nation need to understand the responsibility, the Huqooq-ul-Ibaad our faith is based on.
Here are some extremely stupid things Pakistanis are used to doing on Pakistan Day that cause others trouble and wreak havoc to the serenity of this great day…
