The 76th death anniversary of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah will be observed on Wednesday, September 11, with solemn tributes paid across the country. Despite the significance of the occasion, the government has not declared a public holiday. While the authority to announce a holiday lies with the government, it has chosen not to include this day in the 2024 official public holiday schedule.
Commemorations will take place at Mazar-e-Quaid in Karachi, where the recitation of Quran and Fateha will be held in honor of Quaid-e-Azam. Both Radio Pakistan and Pakistan Television will broadcast special programs highlighting the pivotal role played by Muhammad Ali Jinnah in securing Pakistan’s independence.
Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah passed away on this day in 1948, just over a year after guiding the nation to freedom. His legacy continues to inspire, with annual tributes reflecting on his enduring contribution to Pakistan’s history.
