Wish everyone a very Happy Pakistan Day

Pakistan Day or (Youm-e-Pakistan) or #Pakistan Resolution Day also Republic Day is a national holiday in Pakistan to commemorate the Lahore Resolution of 1940 and the adoption of the first constitution of Pakistan during the transition of the Dominion of Pakistan to the Islamic Republic of Pakistan on 23 March 1956 making Pakistan the world's first Islamic republic. Republic Day parade by the #Armed Forces is a common celebration for the event.

The Lahore Resolution or Qarardad-e-Lahore, commonly known as the Pakistan Resolution or Qarardad-e-Pakistan), was a formal political statement adopted by the Muslim League on the occasion of its three-day general session on March 22 - 24, 1940 that called for the creation of 'independent states' for Muslims in British India. The constituent units of these states were to be autonomous and sovereign. This was later interpreted as a demand for a separate Muslim state, Pakistan. The resolution was presented by A. K. Fazlul Huq.

The #Lahore resolution was actually adopted on March 24, but officially in Pakistan 'March 23' is considered the date of its adoption. In 1941, it became part of the Muslim League's constitution. In 1946, it formed the basis for the decision of Muslim League to struggle for one state for the #Muslims.
