Actually, Pakistan is preparing to display some military hardware on March 23, that's all. It is important to keep in mind that the Lahore Resolution was a crucial part of a civilian political process, not a military one.
Military is not something that is imported from mars, its an institutions made by the people of pakistan, comprised of the people of pakistan and for the people of pakistan, we own our military and our military owns us, showing of military hardware on republic day is a show of strength to the world that we will defend our freedom and existance and we have the capability and the will to do so, the only people who moan at seeing military at republic day are those who have a problem with pakistans existance, so lets dispense with the theoratical bullshit, huh buddy...
 
What time is it beginning? I mean they write article upon articles on it and not a single mention.....or have I missed something?
 
Another parade and we are bieng forced to watch the shittiest quality imaginable, seems like a smartphone camera would project better quality than what ptv has to offer, seriously ptv should up its game or parade and national transmissions should be given to private channels who can do a much better job.
