I see there's already a toilet bowl of a thread going on concerning the issues. Disengaging now.

What's wrong with parades and festivals?

Just to clarify - I meant this type of ceremony as a substitute for parades and festivals, not in addition to them.

I agree! Jersey City is lucky to have so much diversity and any group that wants recognition should have it.

I suggest that this be a precedent. Set a date that represents something significant in their history for all the groups that now parade and fly their flag at City Hall.

City Hall's council chambers were adorned in green and white today, as the city celebrated the 68th anniversary of Pakistani independence with a special flag raising. Mayor Steve Fulop and city council members Daniel Rivera, Rolando Rivera and Khemraj "Chico" Ramchal were in attendance as well as several local Pakistani community leaders and a United States diplomat to Pakistan. "We couldn't be more proud to have a large Pakistani community in the city of Jersey City," Fulop said. "I can tell you, that this Pakistani community is one that I am happy to call partners, happy to call friends and one that I look forward to growing a relationship with long into the future." Leading the day's ceremony was a group of child singers, who sang the Pakistani National Anthem and "Lab Pe Aaiti Hai Dua," a child's prayer. http://www.nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/20 ... ence_wi.html#incart_river
