Attaullah appealed to the political workers, journalists, intellectuals, teachers, lawyers, students, businessmen, doctors, farmers, labourers and patriotic Pakistanis living abroad, and Pakistani youth to be a part of the ‘Hurmat-e-Parcham’ campaign.
He said the flag of Pakistan is a symbol of national identity and sovereignty, representing the unity and solidarity of the nation.
