Minar-e-Pakistan (Urdu: مینارِ پاکستان‎‎ / ALA-LC: Mīnār-i Pākistān, literally "Tower of Pakistan") is a public monument located in Iqbal Park, adjacent to the Walled City of Lahore, in the Pakistani province of Punjab.[1] The tower was constructed during the 1960s on the site where the All-India Muslim League passed the Lahore Resolution on 23 March 1940 - the first official call for a separate and independent homeland for the Muslims of British India, as espoused by the two-nation theory.
