The Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) has announced plans to commemorate Muhajir Culture Day on December 24, 2024, at the Governor House in Karachi.
The celebration is intended to showcase the cultural heritage of the Muhajir community and their significant contributions to Pakistan’s history. This initiative was shared by Express News.
