Cultural events to honour Quaid-e-Azam's legacy

Cultural organisations in the federal capital are gearing up to hold a variety of engaging activities to mark the 148th birth anniversary of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah on Wednesday to pay tribute to the founder of the nation for his struggle and determination to acquire a separate homeland.

The day will see a mix of creative competitions and cultural showcases, aimed at inspiring patriotism and reflecting on the values of unity, faith, and discipline that Muhammad Ali Jinnah championed.

The Pakistan National Council of the Arts (PNCA) has planned to organise an on-the-spot painting and drawing competition to provide a platform for young artists to pay homage to Jinnah through art.

The competition is divided into two categories according to which the children aged 7 to 13 years will create artwork based on the theme "Quaid ka Pakistan," while participants aged 14 to 19 years will focus on the theme "Unity, Faith, Discipline."

The event aims to foster creativity and a sense of national pride among the younger generation. Meanwhile, Lok Virsa, the National Institute of Folk and Traditional Heritage, will host a full-day celebration at the Heritage Museum in Shakarparian.
