This Independence Day Hamza Ali Abassi wrote a post on Facebook (as per usual). But this time we agreed with him. He finally made sense. And because we agreed with the post, we thought we’d share it with all of you too! Don’t worry - he isn’t criticising anyone, complaining about anything or making his own Fatwas. Shocked? So are we! Let’s have a look at some things he mentioned:

1. “All the convicted TTP planners of APS Peshawer attack and Safoora bus attack, hanged by military courts.”

2. “More than 700 separatist commanders in Balochistan give up arms, surrender to Southern Command of Pak Army and join the national mainstream.”

3. “Aasia Andrabi raises Pakistani Flag in Indian Occupied Kashmir.”

4. “Scores of people celebrate 14th Aug on streets all night in a peaceful Karachi with record breaking holiday market sales of Rs 5 Billion.”

5. “Two brilliant world class Pakistani films MOOR and SHAH release in cinemas.”

6. “Independence day celebrated in full swing in Waziristan after 10 years.”

7. “80% decline in terrorist incidents since August 14, 2014.”

Some of the other amazing things that happened on August 14 were:

Pakistan made snap-chat history by featuring it’s own Independence day!

A charity match was played for martyrs of an ongoing military operation between Pakistan’s cricket team and the Pakistan Army

And like this Facebook user said:

“If my news feed was any greener, Willie Nelson would roll it up and smoke it. Happy Independence Day to all my patriotic friends!”

We hope every day in Pakistan is an independent one. <3
