ISLAMABAD: The federal government on Thursday declared November 9 to be observed as a public holiday across the country on account of Iqbal Day.
The day marks the birth anniversary of Allama Iqbal, with this year being his 147th birth anniversary.
Also known as “Poet of the East”, he was one of the key figures who inspired millions of Muslims in the sub-continent to seek independence from British rule and establish their own homeland.
