ISLAMABAD: The portraits of Founder of Pakistan Quaid-e-Azam Muhammed Ali Jinnah have been removed from the Prime Minister House and Presidential House, Geo News revealed Saturday.
Two days ago, President Asif Ali Zardari hosted a reception in the honour of national cricket team on winning the ICC Twenty20 World Cup title. On this occasion, the team players and officials had a group photo with President Zardari and Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani.
There are pictures of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, Benazir Bhutto, Bilawal Zardari Bhutto and President Zardari without any picture of founder of Pakistan are seen hung in the backdrop of photo.
Similarly, an Internship Award ceremony was held with PM Gilani in chair on Friday. On this occasion, the stage was decorated with the pictures of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, Benazir Bhutto, President Zardari and PM Gilani; however, there was no picture of Quaid-e-Azam.
In a similar photograph, President Zardari was administering oath of Federal Mohtasib to Dr Shoaib Suddle; however, the backdrop flashed with a picture of Quaid-e-Awam sans any photo of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammed Ali Jinnah.
Similarly, in a meeting with US delegation, no photograph of Muhammed Ali Jinnah was visible.
Under law, to hang the portrait of Quaid-e-Azam at offices of government officials, President and Prime Minister is compulsory.

Today I am really upset to see that Govt of Pakistan have replaced the Quaid e Azam picture with BHUTOOOS and ZOOOrDARis, these pictures do not deserve to be on President or Prime Minister house at all, if some one likes them put in your D, B rooms.
The other day I was really surprised to see an interuniversity quiz programme on Benazir life (and there was no question about how/where she learnt/study the art to rob a country) soon will be part of syllabus and I am quite sure soon you will see the pictures of BHUTTOOOOS and ZOOOrDARis pictures on Currency notes.
Believe me these pictures which replaced with Quaid pictures soon will be under the feet of Pakistanis. |

Not surprised by his action!What do you expect from Zardari?
He is a proven "Madar pidar azaad" father of corruption.
However shame on us,Pakistani's who voted for this bunch of filth. |

Zardari is attempting to re-write history in the following ways:
1. Zardari and his wife were not crooks and thieves
2. The Bhutto family founded Pakistan
3. Bilawar Bhutto is intelligent
In 20 years, this will be what the history books write |
