Pakistan Resolution Day
Happy Pakistan Resolution Day
The Lahore Resolution ( قرارداد لاہور, Qarardad-e-Lahore; লাহোর প্রস্তাব, Lahor Prostab), also known as the Pakistan Resolution (قرارداد پاکستان, Qarardad-e-Pakistan), was a formal political statement adopted by the All-India Muslim League on the occasion of its three-day general session in Lahore on March 22–24, 1940, which called for the creation of 'independent states' for Muslims in north-western and eastern British India. The constituent units of these states were to be autonomous and sovereign. The resolution was presented by Sher-e-Bangal (شیر بنگاله Tiger of Bengal) A. K. Fazlul Huq, the Premier of Bengal. It was later interpreted as a demand for a separate and single Muslim state, called Pakistan.
