Anusha Rehman Throws
Quaid-e-Azam's Picture Out of IT and Telecom Ministry
By Aamir Attaa |
Anusha
Rehman, the state minister for Telecom and IT, has technically thrown out the
picture of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah – the founder of the nation – out
from building of Ministry of IT and Telecom.
Recently
produced pictures from MoIT show a picture of Mian Mohammad Nawaz Sharif,
the Prime Minister of Pakistan and direct boss of Ms. Anusha Rehman, instead
of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s portrait.
Its
a shame that PML(N) government is following the footstep of PPP(P) by
preferring their party leaders over Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
It
merits mentioning here that PPP (P) government, at few occasions, had removed
the portrait of Quaid-e-Azam from meeting rooms and had used pictures of their
political leaders, including Asif Zardari, Bilawal Bhutto, Benazir Bhutto and
Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto.

Update:
MoIT
has responded to this post by saying that portrait of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali
Jinnah is displayed at all official offices, as per usual government protocol.
Similarly,
a portrait of Quaid-e-Azam is displayed in the office of Minister as well.
However,
the images in question (and produced below) is informal seating in Minister’s
office where she meets delegates.
Ministry
said that picture of Prime Minister was displayed on the wall which was
previously empty.
