National flag to be placed on Mazar-e-Quaid

Author: APP

KARACHI – On the direction of President Mamnoon Hussain, it has been decided to place national flag on the mausoleum of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah – founding father of the nation.

In this regard, two flags, made of silver thread, have been prepared, which would be placed on the internal and external part of Quaid’s mausoleum, a press release issued by the President Office said.

It may be mentioned here that until the year 1960, national flag was used to be placed on the grave of Quaid-e-Azam as ‘Chadar’ (Sheet) and this tradition was later discontinued. Now on the direction of President Mamnoon, this tradition would be revived from December 25, 2015 – Quaid’s birthday.
