What a waste of time and resources.

Jibran Nasir and the rest of the liberal/leftist brigade that insulted and demeaned these poor gardeners because they thought it was a government commissioned piece and did not bother to fact check, should go create a plaque apologizing and light some candles in front of the homes of these poor people they insulted.

What a waste of time and resources.

It was the personal time and apparently personal resources of the gardeners, who aren't professional sculptors by any means.

At least they did something. Support that effort instead of criticizing them.

 

[Jazzbot]

Its made by gardeners, not professional artists. People just need to f*ck off.

Honestly speaking, there is nothing wrong with it. Its not Iqbal per say but than again understand that people did on their on and not for money but morons will always be morons jo khud to kerta nahi but yes tanqeed zaroor kerta hain her kaam per, favorite pass time of many.

=============================================
Pakistan is a country of many talented individuals. What is unfortunate, however, is that these talented individuals don’t always get the spotlight that they deserve. That is the case with the extremely talented comedians on Pakistani social media because the trolling skills of Pakistanis are by far the best. This is exactly what we’re seeing currently as a new sculpture of Iqbal was recently unveiled.




A new Allama Iqbal sculpture was recently placed in Lahore and it has drawn many people’s attention for all the wrong reasons

Recently someone spotted a recently placed statue of the national poet in Gulshan-e-Iqbal in Lahore. What caught the person’s eye was how the artist had taken liberty with the subject by making the sculpture such that it did not appear to resemble the man himself.

Of course, people were quick to notice this interesting sculpture

Quickly, the sculpture spread across social media with many people commenting about the shockingly unique artistic liberties taken by the creator of the sculpture.

Some people were quite offended at this Iqbal sculpture in Lahore

https://twitter.com/x/status/1356298721529573377

Then began savage trolling of this recently placed Iqbal sculpture in Lahore

Some began wondering what the Iqbal sculpture in Lahore resembled since it didn’t resemble Iqbal himself

For reference, this is the Mohenjo Daro priest this commenter is talking about:

Honestly, I can see more resemblance with this than with Allama Iqbal so I would say I agree with the commenter.


Others wanted answers for what they considered a blunder by the authorities in letting this tribute be made to the national poet

There were references made to other similarly bad tributes toward national heroes in the past, like this shocking Jinnah cake

worst craftsmanship ... ask some known professional to make it.... extremely bad taste ...remove right away.
More seems artist was making Nawaz sculpture and change his mind in the middle of work and convert into Iqbal

 

[muhammadhafeezmalik]

From the poor gardeners that created the sculpture themselves, without taxpayer money, to pay homage to Allama Iqbal.

Can the woke outrage brigade please STFU now.

Thread title updated.

This seems cover-up story, as two officers of PHA are suspended after public outrage. The sculpture was made of tonnes cement and crushed stone. who paid for this material?? Gardeners?? Seriously??

 

[Tomcats]

I seriously think this is just childish at this point, somehow people think this statue is an attack on Iqbal and a travesty on the nation. To those people the question should be asked, on the day where homage is paid to Iqbal what have you ever done to honor his Legacy? These people (Gardeners) spent days laboring out of their own choice to do just that.
