The 109th birth anniversary of Ghazi Ilm Din Shaheed is being observed today (Monday) across the country.
Ghazi Ilm Din Shaheed, who hailed from Lahore, murdered a Hindu writer Rajpal on April 16, 1929 for writing a blasphemous book.
Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah appeared in court to defend Ilm Din Shaheed but the British court awarded him death sentence. Ilm Din was executed on October 31, 1929 in Mianwali Jail.
