Government announces public holiday on November 9

A notification has formally been issued in this regard

The federal government has declared a public holiday on November 9 to mark the birth anniversary of poet and philosopher Allama Iqbal.

A notification has formally been issued in this regard.

Born on November 9, 1877, in Sialkot, Allama Iqbal emerged as a significant figure in the subcontinent, playing a crucial role in the Pakistan movement.

As a modern Sufi poet, Iqbal inspired a revolutionary spirit among the nation through his impactful poetry. His literary works have been translated into various languages, including Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, and English, establishing him as a notable philosopher on the global stage.

Tragically, Iqbal did not live to see Pakistan’s independence, passing away on April 21, 1938.
