Pakistan’s Parliament Speaker Raja Pervez Ashraf and his deputy Zahid Akram Durrani sent their congratulatory messages to Iran on the occasion.
Saturday, April 1, marked the 44th anniversary of a referendum that put to vote the Islamic Republic, a system based on religious democracy.
More than 98 percent of the Iranian people cast yes votes, approving the Islamic Republic which replaced the Western-backed Pahlavi regime.
The Pahlavi regime had been toppled in February 1979 following the Islamic Revolution led by the late Imam Khomeini.
