In this respect, the issuance of commemorative postal stamps is one of the many initiatives to celebrate the 50 years anniversary of the Senate in a memorable and befitting manner.

The core objective is to celebrate this unique juncture in our parliamentary history to renew, reaffirm and re-energize federal-provincial harmony and connectivity being a sine qua non for a robust, strong and homogenous federation.

To commemorate this historic occasion, the Senate of Pakistan also convened a historic three-day special session at the Parliament House from March 15 to 17, 2023, reflecting upon a truly monumental and path-defining journey that the Upper House of Parliament embarked upon 50 years ago.

The year 1973, will remain emblazoned in Pakistan's parliamentary history for having marked a constitutional epoch in the form of the 1973 Constitution that inter alia provided for a bicameral parliament designating the Senate as the Upper House.

The upper house was mandated to mainstream and institutionalize federating units into the federal parliamentary quotient, to empower provinces through effective and equal representation and devolution of powers.

Pakistan Senate's Golden Jubilee marks a crucial milestone in our national quest spanned over five decades as a united, harmonious and well-integrated federation.
