NEW YORK, Aug 13 (APP): Pakistan’s green-crescent-and star was raised for the first time today to mark the country’s 75th Independence Day at Bowling Green, a historic spot in New York City where the British colonial flag was lowered and America’s Stars and Stripes raised in 1783.
Slogans of “Pakistan Zinda Bad” rang out as New York City Mayor Eric Adams personally raised the Pakistan flag, alongside with the US flag, on the mast. National Anthems of the two countries were played.
