SIALKOT, Oct 21: A local youth has claimed to have set a world record by drawing miniature portraits of Allama Muhammad Iqbal and Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah on needles.
The 23-year-old miniaturist, Muhammad Awais, a resident of Uggoki, said he made Qauid-i-Azam’s portrait on a 0.85mm needle, and that of Allama Iqbal on a 0.90mm needle.
He claimed that he had broken the 21-year-old world record set by a Chinese miniaturist, but added that the Chinese artist had used comparatively thick needles to paint on. Awais has also painted Indian tennis star Sania Mirza, besides the ten army men who had been awarded Nishan-i-Hyder, on rice grains. — Correspondent
