70 years ago the idea of Pakistan was born in Lahore. Today it appears that we have reached a crossroads in our journey. Azme Alishan is an invitation for all Pakistanis to celebrate our real identity, culture and values, and to challenge negative images of our country around the world.

The Azme Alishan pledge is simple: it’s to affirm amongst ourselves and send a message to the world that we will define our own future as a people and a nation.
Through a series of public events and activities planned throughout 2010, the campaign aims to:
|
 |
Celebrate the real Pakistani identity and culture; our shared values of peace, diversity, tolerance and unity; and our rejection of the image that has been assigned to us. |
| |
|
|
Challenge all Pakistanis to speak up for these values and to act on them, and |
| |
|
|
Invite Pakistanis and the world’s media to see a different Pakistan, the one behind the images and stereotypes of division provoked by a few.
|
|
| |
| The campaign is nothing to do with government or big business. It’s about us as a people, taking part in something together, renewing our faith in each other, and rekindling the communal spirit that laid the foundations for the creation of Pakistan through the Lahore Resolution 70 years ago. |

Though sponsored by some of Pakistan’s leading media groups, Azme Alishan is far more than an advertising or media campaign. It’s a movement – a vehicle for all Pakistanis to speak up for the country we love.
A number of events and activities have been planned that will give Pakistanis an opportunity to speak for themselves, details of which will be announced throughout the year and appear on the home page of this site.
While many will be based in Lahore – the city that gave birth to the very idea of Pakistan – they will be open to all Pakistanis, both at home and abroad.
Fundamentally, the campaign belongs to the people of Pakistan. So don’t just sit on the sidelines. Make a new resolve and join the fight for the soul of our country. |
