Ministry of Information Tweet on Holiday Fake News
The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, in contrast, has said clearly that there will be no vacation on May 25 and has refuted the story of the local news station.
Disseminating #FakeNews is not only unethical and illegal but it is also disservice to the nation. It is the responsibility of everyone to reject irresponsible behavior. Reject #FakeNews pic.twitter.com/Fv5kvd5Igs

The country should take this opportunity to consider the heroic deeds of the brave people who gave their life to ensure Pakistan’s security and well-being.
On this day, flower wreaths will be placed on monuments honoring the sacrifices made by members of the armed forces, police, and other law enforcement agencies.
Additional festivities will be hosted in the Pakistan Navy’s and Pakistan Air Force’s headquarters in addition to the main ceremony, which will take place at the General Headquarters (GHQ).
To remember their departed heroes, the police department has also planned celebrations in Islamabad, the provincial capitals, and Azad Kashmir.
These ceremonies honor the unshakable devotion and ultimate sacrifice given by our heroic service members for the security and well-being of our country and serve as a moving reminder of the sacrifices they made.
