In response to a recent incident involving the Pakistani embassy in Germany, the federal cabinet has launched the “Hurmat-e-Parcham Campaign” to honor and respect the national flag. On July 25, 2024, several federal ministers, including Defence Minister Khawaja Asif and Information Minister Ataullah Tarar, shared photos of themselves with the national flag on social media. These photos were accompanied by messages expressing pride and patriotism.
The main goal of the Hurmat-e-Parcham Campaign is to reaffirm the importance of the national flag as a symbol of unity and sovereignty for Pakistan. The campaign has seen active participation from high-ranking officials, including Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar, who have encouraged citizens from all walks of life to join in and show their support for the flag.
This initiative is not just a one-day event but will continue through August, culminating in the celebrations of Pakistan’s independence. By extending the campaign over a month, the government aims to foster a deeper sense of national pride and solidarity among the Pakistani people.
Throughout the campaign, various activities and events will be organized to engage the public and remind everyone of the significance of the national flag. These efforts are intended to inspire citizens to display the flag proudly and to recognize its role in representing the country’s unity and strength.
The Hurmat-e-Parcham Campaign serves as a reminder of the enduring values and shared identity that the national flag symbolizes. It encourages Pakistanis to come together in a collective expression of respect and love for their country, reinforcing the sense of national unity and patriotism.
