What is there to clebrate? Independence from what? Look at the condition of the country. Its worse now than it was at independence. Today, Pakistan is more dependent on others than ever before. Pakistan is more of a slave nation today than it was under the British rule. PPP govt. has made Pakistan a begger country and beggers are not independent. They are dependent.
SHUT UP!
Truth hurts.
Happy Independence day to All who hold Pakistan Dear and near to their HEARTS. PAKISTAN ZINDABAD
