KARACHI: The 73rd death anniversary of Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah is being observed on Saturday (today) throughout the country with reverence and solemnity.
To mark the day, various programmes have been planned to shed light on the leadership and personality of the Father of the Nation.
Born on Dec 25, 1876, Mr Jinnah served as leader of the All India Muslim League from 1913 until Pakistan’s creation. He served as the country’s first governor general until his death.
The Quaid-i-Azam passed away on Sept 11, 1948, just a year after achieving a separate homeland for the Muslims of the Sub-continent.
