Quaid’s birthday celebrated with exhibition
On the occasion of the 147th birth anniversary of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, a photo exhibition titled 'Quaid-e-Azam Kay Shab o Rooz' was organised at the Punjab Arts Council (PAC), Rawalpindi on Monday
PAC Director, Waqar Ahmad, who was the chief guest at the event, addressing the participants said, “Quaid-e-Azam fought for Muslims on the basis of the two-nation theory. It was under the leadership of the father of the nation that Pakistan emerged as an independent state in the 20th century.”
“It is by following the Quaid’s teachings that the nation can overcome present day difficulties and problems.
The reason for our downfall is that we forgot the edicts of Quaid. Currently, Pakistan faces uncertainty. To solve it we need to follow his very words,” Ahmed added.

PAC Assistant Director, Muhammad Suleman said, “We are on the path of development in the field of literature and culture as per the vision of Quaid-e-Azam.
We must unite and reiterate our determination to stick to the teachings of the Quaid.”
“In order to achieve progress, the leader’s principles of unity, faith and discipline must be followed,” he added.
Portraits of Quaid-e-Azam and rare photographs from his lifelong journey were put on display in the exhibition.
A large number of visitors liked the photographs. The attendees were enlightened with regards to the Quaid’s life and role and his struggle for the country’s freedom.
At the end of the ceremony, a birthday cake was cut in honour of the Quaid-e-Azam.
