ISLAMABAD: Led by National Assembly (NA) Speaker Raja Pervez Ashraf, the House is ready to kick off the Golden Jubilee celebrations of the Constitution, which was passed solidly half a century ago.

The month-long celebrations will commence on Monday (April 10). 

A Parliamentary Advisory Committee — comprising the Speaker, members from both Houses of Parliament and headed by Senator Raza Rabbani — was set to chalk out the activities for the celebration.

The Speaker will inaugurate the celebrations by laying the foundation stone of the Constitution Monument at the site approved by the Advisory Committee, opposite Parliamentary Lodges, D-Chowk, Islamabad.

The monument will serve as a permanent souvenir of the reputation of the Constitution in the nation’s history.

This will be followed by a wreath-laying ceremony at the Memorial of the Unsung Heroes of Democracy in the Parliament House to homage to those who fought for democracy in Pakistan.
