"Greetings Pakistan Broadcasting Service. We are speaking from Lahore. The night between the thirteenth and fourteenth of August, year forty-seven. It is twelve o'clock. Dawn of Freedom."


50 years Ago, Time stood still. For those who witnessed the birth of the state and the movement that made it a living breathing reality for the generations to follow, on the 50th Year of Pakistan's existence as a sovereign state, we ask our listeners both in Pakistan and in the diaspora to remember the Quaid-i-Azam and the accomplishments of the Pakistan Movement along with those who served and died on the field of battle for their beloved country.
