Sure, we all love our country. We have different ways of showing our affection toward our motherland. And these two gentlemen decided to do something big. And by big, we mean really big.
They just made the biggest portrait of Quaid e Azam ever made, in Pakistan, on one of the walls of the Jinnah hospital, and just in time for his birthday!

Mudassir Kazmi and Umer Bashir painted this mural in just 5 nights.
It is a pure work of art and it is genuinely one of the finest portraits that we have seen of the incredible man who gave us the country we live in.
Mudassir also painted a mural of Ibn E Sina on a wall of the AIMC, Lahore and it’s splendid!
