The crash took place at a traffic light. Four men in the other vehicle died, and a motorcycle rider was injured. Federal Ombudsperson, Kashmala Tariq, denied\u00a0reports about her son\u00a0driving the Lexus.\u00a0She also rejected reports about her family members fleeing the scene (P.S. that would be a hit and run).\u00a0Tariq tried to explain what happened in a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CKzL_fjhWpS\/?utm_source=ig_embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/newsletter.thenewsrun.com\/t\/j-l-ahhdlo-iluykthdp-b\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1612454910166000&amp;usg=AFQjCNElaWEX3u8jcvanf4v1K39Abq1gag\">video<\/a>.

A bunch of people thought the statue was badly made, and an insult to Iqbal.\u00a0Others said the statue didn&#8217;t even look like Iqbal.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%23allamaiqbal&amp;src=typed_query\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/newsletter.thenewsrun.com\/t\/j-l-ahhdlo-iluykthdp-p\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1612454910166000&amp;usg=AFQjCNFY4mTYCg8PcI7C4vphkO9Dn4q_Jw\">Mocking\u00a0memes<\/a>\u00a0about the statue\u00a0made rounds online. However, professional architects or artists did not make the\u00a0statue. Gardeners at the park made the statue to honor Iqbal. They collected iron rods and wood from around the park to build the statue. They managed to buy some cement after former\u00a0park director, Ghulam Sibtain, collected funds from elderly people who regularly came to the park. Even though Sibtain said the statue isn&#8217;t finished yet, Punjab Chief Minister, Usman Buzdar,\u00a0ordered the statue of Iqbal to be taken down.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[dkpdf-button]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today\u2019s top Pakistan current affairs February 03, 2021 with download link available in pdf.
