It is on this special occasion that the country shows gratitude and respect to the martyrs and their families for granting their adored sons. This country and the people of Pakistan are highly indebted to their sacrifices.
This 6th of September, Pakistan celebrated its 50th Defence Day. The guest list was huge which included everyone possibly; from politicians, to army officials, troops and all, along with their families and friends.
The event also clocked in some of our music icons this time around monumentalizing the martyrs of the 1965 war. Shehzad Roy, Hadiqa Kiani, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, to name a few.
The show stopper of the night was the superb performance by Ali Zafar and Atif Aslam celebrating the essence of Defence Day. The song- Yaar Yaaron Sey Ho Na Juda - is none other than Sahir Ali Bagga’s composition, and written by Imran Raza. The video is directed by Dr. Hasan Waqas Rana.
Rahat Fateh Ali Khan’s brilliant performance was the perfect way to end the star studded night. All music hotshots were gathered up on stage joining Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, summing up the event in the most remarkable way.
