Today is the day when it should be made free for all so even the poorer of the poorer can come and learn about our beloved Pakistan.80% of our public do not have the funds to benefit from such places and be proud Pakistanis.Today is the day to be a proud Pakistani despite the hardships people are having to face.Today should'nt be about money,it should be about pride.
its not good and fair to charge tickets on independence day for enering in pakistan monuments
