We have a flag. It is a beautiful flag. People would kill if that flag were to be threatened by outsiders or attackers. Yet, we treat that flag with so much disrespect and contempt that we don’t deserve to be called Pakistanis. If there is one thing that I firmly believe, it’s this: when you don’t respect your national flag, then you don’t respect your country.

In Pakistan, we don’t care if the flag hangs properly outside our homes or offices.

In Pakistan, we hang our flags upside down and say “it doesn’t matter.”

In Pakistan, we hang torn and dirty flags because we can’t be bothered to clean it before we hoist it above our homes.

In Pakistan, we treat the flag with the same contempt that we treat other Pakistanis….. ever think about that?

  Very well said brother. Its a shame really that we forget what this flag is all about. Its the symbol of our own
  pride. Its respect is our own respect.
