[edit] Holidays in Islamic Republic of Pakistan

[edit] Former Holidays

Under the first Nawaz Sharif administration, a number of holidays were removed from the calendar to rationalize the calendar (for example, having only one holiday for each national leader remembered) and increase national productivity.

[edit] Partial Holidays or National Days

Including to the holidays now no longer national holidays, several commemorations are observed as national days without a holiday:

• October 16 - Death anniversary of Liaquat Ali Khan
