However, many people responded by asking what they could practically do to make a difference. The artists\u2019 have found positivity in Azme Alishan and its activities seen over the year.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAzme Alishan is all about bringing people together and encouraging them to commit to building a better future for Pakistan\u201d said Bilal Maqsood of the Strings band. \u201cSince the campaign launched in March we\u2019ve seen it make a real difference by giving a voice to the silent majority and by taking action to genuinely make life better for people in our nation\u201d said Faisal Kapadya of the Strings.<\/p>\n<p>Both Bilal Maqsood and Faisal Kapadya pointed to the recent Azme Alishan Flood Relief drive as an example of the kind of thing people can do to make a change in the country. The relief drive mobilised a wide network of Azme Alishan volunteers to collect and distribute much-needed food supplies to displaced families in relief camps in the Southern Punjab and Sindh region. Other similar initiatives have taken place since its launch, such as a massive street cleaning in local mohallas and tree planting campaign in Lahore and a special schools road show where students made their own \u2018azms\u2019 to build a better country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a proud Pakistani, I would like to see more positive things bringing all Pakistanis together as one nation \u2013 to make Pakistan better\u201d, said the pop star Atif Aslam.<\/p>\n<p>Ab Khud Kuch Karna Paray Ga will become Azme Alishan\u2019s anthem, and will be promoted through a special 45-second television video where the artists endorse the movement and call on fellow Pakistanis to join in.<\/p>\n<p>Taher A. Khan, founder patron of Azme Alishan, welcomed the endorsement and thanked Strings and Atif Aslam for their support. \u201cSuch high-profile support for Azme Alishan shows that the movement\u2019s message of peace, pride and patriotism is resonating amongst Pakistanis from all spheres of life, which is why Azme Alishan has grown so large so quickly\u201d he said. \u201cStrings and Atif Aslam\u2019s call to action \u201cAb Khud Kuch Karna Paray Ga\u201d, captures the sentiment of our movement perfectly. We\u2019re delighted to have them on board as our ambassadors and to adopt their inspirational song as our anthem for Azme Alishan\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Azme Alishan is a national awareness drive initiated in March to celebrate the true values of Pakistan in this its 70th anniversary year. The campaign is independent of government and supported by a consortium of Pakistan\u2019s leading media groups.
