The author has done proper research about on the topic and has furnished some facts which require proper consideration by every Pakistani. We have a history of distorting facts and masking the truths and this practice has put the exact independence day of Pakistan under the shadows of doubts. Probably, the time has come to ‘correct’ our history.
Blogger mentions that it was the morning of the 15th of August 1947, when Qaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah announced the independence of Pakistan, the biggest Islamic country on the world at that time. The blogger further says that it was on the morning of the 15th of August, when Justice Abudul Rasheed, Chief Justice of Lahore High Court, took oath from Qaid-e-Azam and then Qaid-e-Azam, as the Governor General of Islamic Republic of Pakistan, took oath from his ministers.
The blogger also mentions that it was 15th of August, when Pakistan broadcasting service started its service. He says that at 12:00 am or on the 15th of August, Pakistan Broadcasting Service announced ‘This is Pakistan Broadcasting Service’ from Lahore, Dhaka and Peshawar stations. In his blog, the authors states further facts which make us think about the actual independence day of our nation.
Apparently, the author seems to have enough reasons to challenge the exactness of our independence day. Should we hope that after 64 years of independence, we will - at last - be able to ‘discover’ exact independence day?
