Students and government workers in Pakistan could be enjoying a string of three consecutive holidays next month, following the public holiday on November 9 to mark Iqbal Day. Every year, Iqbal Day commemorates the birth anniversary of Dr Allama Muhammad Iqbal, the renowned poet and thinker who played a pivotal role in the creation of Pakistan. In 2023, November 9 coincides with a Monday, accompanied by two weekend days off, which are expected to result in government employees receiving three straight days off.
Similarly, educational institutions will observe a three-day break from November 7 to 9, providing students with a short respite. Dr Allama Muhammad Iqbal was born in Sialkot on November 9, 1877, and his birthday is celebrated as Iqbal Day across the nation. On this day, various educational, literary, and social institutions organize seminars, debates, and speech competitions to showcase Iqbal's art, thought, and philosophy.
The three consecutive holidays were first reported by ProPakistani, highlighting the significance of Iqbal Day in the Pakistani calendar.
