The founding father of Pakistan, always alive in our memories, gave great sacrifices for the freedom and independence of the subcontinent’s Muslim population. From family troubles to political competition, Quaid-e-Azam always stood firm with diligence in his bid to get a separate land, known as Pakistan.
Even though all might not be fine today in Quaid’s Pakistan, the people still hold him dearly in their memories and the history books only speak about how great a leader he was. Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s devotion towards ridding Muslims off British imperialism and Hindu Raj will be remembered for centuries.
Thus, the Great Britain has decided to honor the founding father of Pakistan for all that he did — not minding his counter-policy against the British. Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s statue has been unveiled, showcasing a bronze bust. The Pakistan High Commissioner to Britain and London’s Mayor Sadiq Khan made the occasion auspicious with their presence.
The beautiful statute which contains Quaid-e-Azam’s torso in bronze, with a Karakuli Topi, has been designed by famous sculptor Phillip Jackson, which was unveiled in the ceremony where many important personalities of both countries were present.
