Public holiday in KP

A public holiday has been announced by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government on Iqbal Day. The decision was made after Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan advised Chief Minister Pervez Khattack to declare November 9 a public holiday.

Every year November 9 is celebrated as Iqbal Day as a tribute to Allama Muhammad Iqbal who was born in Sialkot on November 9, 1877. Allama Iqbal played a prominent role in securing a separate homeland for the Muslims of the sub-continent, which is modern-day Pakistan. He has influenced a great number of scholars, politicians and prominent personalities throughout the sub-continent.
