ISLAMABAD: Pakistan marks December 25, 2024, as Quaid-e-Azam Day to commemorate the birth anniversary of the nation’s founder Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah along with the Christmas celebrations.

Every year, the nation observes a public holiday on December 25 to celebrate the Jinnah’s birthday with great enthusiasm and devotion.

The federal government has not yet officially notified the public holiday for the occasion, however, the circular issued by the cabinet division for annual holidays in 2024 includes December 25.

The circular issued last year notified that 11 public holidays and 22 optional holidays will be observed in 2024.

According to the circular, a public holiday will be observed on the occasion of Quaid-e-Azam Day and Christmas. In addition to that, the Christian community will also observe December 26, a day after Christmas, as the holiday.

It is pertinent to mention that the Sindh government has already announced a public holiday in all government offices on December 25 on account of Quaid-e-Azam’s birth anniversary.

A notification was also issued by the provincial government in this regard, whereas, a holiday was announced on December 26 for Christian employees in connection with Christmas.
