LAHORE: The Hindu community in Pakistan has decorated the main hall of the National Assembly with a forty feet high and sixty feet wide national flag on Tuesday -- a day when the parliament held its joint session to discuss the situation in Kashmir.
The unique flag was presented by Pakistan Hindu council
headed by Ramesh Kumar Wankwani who is also a member of the National Assembly.
"The flag has been gifted by Pakistan Hindu Council and has been made by using
white and green balloons. As many as 60,000 deflated balloons have been used to
develop the flag," ministry of information and broadcast tweeted.
"It is the first time in the history of any country that such a huge flag has
been prepared and displayed in any legislature. It is the biggest of its kind
in the world and all set to register a record in the Guinness Book of World
Records. The Guinness team will present certificate on Friday," Wankwani told
Arab News.
Asad Qaisar, speaker of the National Assembly, termed it a good sign of
minority community's love for the country.
Wankwani said that the Hindu community living in Pakistan
assisted the founder of Pakistan, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, and opted to live in
this country. "Political figures like Jogarnath Mandal and SP Singh were
companions of Jinnah in his struggle," he said.
"This flag is a gift and a testimony of love of the Hindu community for
Pakistan," Wankwani said.
