I am not in fever of any other party and I am not against ANP. I am also not defending Luqman and media...
I have posted some other references and you can see in those references that Flag hoisting ceremony was conducted on 15th august.
I have just raised the point whether this is against the harmony of country or not.
there should be unity and harmony in country.
we are depressed and backward today because we are sindhi, balochi, punjabi, pathan, Mohajjar, saraiki,sunni, shia etc..
when we will have our identity as pakistani at that time pakistan will start making progress.

Assalam o alaikum!

Unless and until the real matter comes to surface we will be witnessing such futile and endless debates.

Let me narrate the complete story so that it becomes clear to all and sundry once and for all. I will not base my opinion by those venomous websites that have been given as a reference. The senior minister KPK was scheduled to visit a particular area for flag ceremony. A bomb blast deferred the program and it was again scheduled to be on Monday (as more of the civil servants are on duty). A circular was issued to the media to apprise them of the change of plan and the letter didn't bar any district in KPK from celebrating I-day or hoisting flags. Mr. Mubasher Luqman gave a different color or spice for that matter, to the whole story and traced this back to 1947. Rest assured that all other official programs were organized on 14th of august baring this one. The chief minister, speaker and DCO's and commissioners celebrated this event officially on 14th of August. So, whats the big deal? Why an issue is created out of non-issue?



P.S: For all the harbingers of national unity, your sincerity crashes to ground the moment when you people start cracking extremely non-parliamentary and below the grace jokes on Pathans 24/7. Rest assured that this particular act alienates the whole population from you which loves Pakistan! I will not waste my words further on this issue.

I think that the KPK govt notification for hoisting our flag on 15 August is unacceptable with or without any excuse. Everyone knows that the Indian independence day is celebrated on 15th August. They could have moved the date to 16th August. It has hurt the sentiments of the whole nation I believe.

In my humble opinion this debate is going nowhere.
People of Pakistan have much more appealing issues.
Why ANP government raised flag on 15th August? Did they really mean to do it? Did it make any difference? Will this be repeated? Will this happen again? What were the reasons behind it?
People living in KPK posted earlier that they didn't even notice this.
If we raise voice against this issue, will it do any good to the nation?
Nation's priorities are much more serious than flag raising these days.

Why don't we direct our energies to more appealing issues of Pakistan and not only discuss but find solutions and try to implement them at individual and national level?

Awesome reply, no words to say....well touched this topic... I salute you bro.

I would say "jo dhikta hae wo hota nhi and jo hota hae wo dhikta nhi"
We shd not trust the media blindly bcoz more oftenly they r using their powers fr a very wrong purpose...With gr8 power, there comes gr8 responsibility but media is not doing that responsibility...
We shd hav to behave mature and think objectively not subjectively...
