Interior ministry unaware of whereabouts of Pakistan's first flag, NA told
The interior ministry on Monday informed the National Assembly that it was unaware of the whereabouts of the national flag which was presented by Pakistan's first prime minister Liaquat Ali Khan during the first meeting of the constituent assembly on August 11, 1947.
In a written reply to a question by PML-N lawmaker Khalida Mansoor, the interior ministry said it was "not responsible for the protection of the first flag and was only responsible for rules regarding the flag".
Mansoor had asked about the whereabouts of the first flag of the country — presented to Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah by Liaquat Ali Khan.

The interior ministry also submitted a written reply regarding action taken by the ministry and security forces against human traffickers following the Turbat tragedy in which 15 people attempting to cross over into Iran on their way to Europe were killed last month.
The ministry said that a video of the killing had surfaced following the incident and five others were killed in Kech a few days later. It added that investigation against the traffickers was carried out by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) using information gathered from the families of the victims.
The reply submitted by the ministry read that 17 alleged traffickers have been identified of which seven have been arrested so far following the registration of seven first information reports (FIRs) regarding the incident.
