Karachi, Islamabad, Peshawar, Quetta, Ziarat, Karachi and Lahore, are the cities where the monuments turned blue.
The idea behind it was to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Convention of the Rights of the Child.
UNICEF Pakistan shared a magical picture of the Quaid’s tomb, the resting place of the country’s founding father, in blue.

Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi wrote on Twitter,
“Today we are once again reminded of the plight of the children of Indian-occupied Kashmir suffering under Indian oppression, denied the right to quality education and a safe environment to grow and thrive. The international community must stand for the children.”
