On Thursday, Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar, the Caretaker Prime Minister of Pakistan declared a nationwide ban on New Year celebrations via a televised address. The purpose behind this decision is to display solidarity with the Palestinian population who have suffered from continuous Israeli aggression since October 7th.
In his emotional appeal to citizens across the land, he expressed that “Pakistan as a country finds itself in an unhappy state” and encouraged individuals to exhibit unity and simplicity throughout their activities for New Year’s Eve.
