Indian President Pranab Mukherjee on Thursday took to Twitter to greet the Pakistani nation and the government in connection with national day celebrations.

"Greetings to (the) government and people of Pakistan on their national day," tweeted Mukherjee.

He further wrote, "India is committed to building ties with Pakistan in an environment free from terror and violence."

The greetings were extended as the nation celebrates the 77th Pakistan Day with national zeal and fervour.

The day marks the historic Lahore Resolution of 1940, in which the All-India Muslim League had demanded a separate homeland for the Muslims of the subcontinent.

Earlier, President Mamnoon Hussain in his address at the main celebration and parade ceremony in Islamabad had said, "We are ready for dialogue with India and want to resolve the incomplete agenda of the division of the subcontinent, in accordance with the UN resolutions on Kashmir."
