RAWALPINDI: Senator Faisal Javed inaugurated a sculpture of Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah made by renowned sculptor Aftab Ahmed Changezi at the Rawalpindi Arts Council (RAC).

Accompanied by Peace and Culture Chairperson Mushaal Hussein Mullick, Mr Javed also cut a cake to mark the birth anniversary of the Quaid.

Speaking on the occasion, he said Quaid-i-Azam was blessed by God with the ability to make an impossible possible. He said Pakistan was leading towards a developed state, adding Naya Pakistan would be free from corruption.

Mushaal Mullick said Kashmir is the unfinished agenda of Pakistan. She said the true meaning of liberation was known to the people of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).

Mr Changezi said it was a great honor for him to make the sculpture of Quaid-i-Azam.

RAC Director Waqar Ahmed also spoke on the occasion.
