23rd March marks the celebration of Pakistan Day, a significant moment in history which began when on 23rd March 1940, the members of All India Muslim League had demanded the British for a seperate nation of Muslims, which shall be known as “Pakistan”. Although in the past year due to lockdown and the arrival of the corona virus pandemic, celebrities had still posted prayers for peace and prosperity to soon come back in the country once more. Here are some of our favorite posts:
