The Government of Pakistan has declared a public holiday on 25 May, a local news channel had claimed earlier in the day.
The Government of Pakistan has denied the news that May 25, 2023 will be a public holiday for Martyrs’ Day. The government has said that there is no such announcement and that May 25 will be a working day.
It is not clear why the news of a public holiday was circulated. It is possible that it was a mistake, or that it was deliberately spread in order to create confusion.
The government has urged people to disregard the news and to check with official sources for information about public holidays.
