Twitter Has A Field Day With Allama Iqbal’s New Bust, CM Punjab Takes Notice
Regarded as one of the greatest contributors of Urdu literature of his time, Allama Iqbal is appreciated as a conspicuous poet in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Kashmir, Sri Lanka, Iran, and in various research circles across the world.
Iqbal loved to talk about Islam in his poetry, and encouraged the youth to become one with religion.
Allama Iqbal died before Pakistan came into existence, but his legend lives on through his poetry. Today, the nation remembers this national hero in a variety of ways. We have songs to relive his poetry, and a few skits to envision his works in literature.
Perhaps his appearance is a question mark for everyone; or maybe not.
The renowned poet’s oversized bust is sitting high and mighty at Gulshan-e-Iqbal Lahore. The workmanship is commendable for sure, albeit a few inaccuracies highlighting a face that barely resembles the legend that is Iqbal.
