Pak may declare Holi, Diwali as public holidays
Holi, Diwali and Easter may soon be declared official holidays in Pakistan, based on a resolution adopted by Pakistan's National Assembly on Tuesday. Pakistan Hindu Council leader Ramesh Kumar Vankwani sought to declare these festivals of minority communities as 'closed holidays'. However, Law Minister Pervaiz Rashid pointed out that Pakistan already has more holidays than any other country.
