Pakistan on August 11, 1947. It was first adopted in 1906 as the flag of All India Muslim League but without the vertical white bar.</strong></p> <p>Ø The national flag of Pakistan is dark green in colour with a white vertical bar, a white crescent in the centre and a five-point star.</p> <p>Ø The significance of the colour and symbols used in the Pakistan flag is as follows:</p> <p>• The white represents the minorities and the green the Muslim majority.</p> <p>• The crescent on the flag represents progress.</p> <p>• The five-rayed star represents light and knowledge.</p> <p>Occasions on which the flag is flown:</p> <p>Ø Pakistan Day (March 23) Ø Independence Day (August 14) Ø Quaid-e-Azam’s birthday (December 25) Ø Such other national days as may be notified by the government from time to time.</p> <p>Days when the flag flies at half-mast:</p> <p>Ø Death anniversary of Allama Muhammad Iqbal (April 21) Ø Death anniversary of Quaid-e-Azam (September 11) Ø Death anniversary of Liaquat Ali Khan (October 16) Ø Any
