Minar-e-Pakistan is a tall
minaret in
Iqbal Park Lahore, built in commemoration of the
Pakistan Resolution. The minaret reflects a blend of
Mughal and modern
architecture, and is constructed on the site where on March 23, 1940, seven years before the formation of
Pakistan, the
Muslim League passed the Pakistan Resolution (
Qarardad-e-Pakistan), demanding the creation of Pakistan.
[1] This was the first official declaration to establish a separate
homeland for the
Muslims living in the
South Asia.
[2] Pakistan now celebrates this day as a national holiday each year.
