All they can see is the worst of Pakistan and that they show at the behest of foreign lobbies, for those lobbies pay them enough to do things allergic to the Identity of Pakistan. Pakistan made great strides in the world even in its worst circumstances. Like the past Heads of State, President Ayub Khan also promoted the Arts in his way. Finances were released for the new ARTS COUNCIL building in Karachi and it was inaugurated with an Art show of the works of M.A. Rahman Chughtai. One of the biggest shows in the history of Pakistan with hundreds of works by the artist. The speech Ayub Khsan read is with us and we will give it another time. Till then just enjoy a vision of the show. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.chughtaimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/President-Ayub-Khan-sees-Chughtai-works.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"756\" height=\"746\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.chughtaimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/President-Ayub-Khan-sees-Chughtai-works.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"3085\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/blog.chughtaimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/President-Ayub-Khan-sees-Chughtai-works.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/blog.chughtaimuseum.com\/?attachment_id=3085\" class=\"wp-image-3085\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.chughtaimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/President-Ayub-Khan-sees-Chughtai-works.jpg 756w, http:\/\/blog.chughtaimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/President-Ayub-Khan-sees-Chughtai-works-300x296.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 756px) 100vw, 756px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">President Ayub Khan sees Chughtai works<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.chughtaimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/A-closer-look-by-President-Ayub-Khan.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"744\" height=\"731\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.chughtaimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/A-closer-look-by-President-Ayub-Khan.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"3083\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/blog.chughtaimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/A-closer-look-by-President-Ayub-Khan.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/blog.chughtaimuseum.com\/?attachment_id=3083\" class=\"wp-image-3083\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.chughtaimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/A-closer-look-by-President-Ayub-Khan.jpg 744w, http:\/\/blog.chughtaimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/A-closer-look-by-President-Ayub-Khan-300x295.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 744px) 100vw, 744px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">A closer look by President Ayub Khan<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.chughtaimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/President-Ayub-Khans-vision.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"735\" height=\"744\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.chughtaimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/President-Ayub-Khans-vision.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"3090\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/blog.chughtaimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/President-Ayub-Khans-vision.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/blog.chughtaimuseum.com\/?attachment_id=3090\" class=\"wp-image-3090\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.chughtaimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/President-Ayub-Khans-vision.jpg 735w, http:\/\/blog.chughtaimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/President-Ayub-Khans-vision-296x300.jpg 296w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">President Ayub Khans vision<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.chughtaimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/President-Ayub-Khans-speech.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"761\" height=\"744\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.chughtaimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/President-Ayub-Khans-speech.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"3086\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/blog.chughtaimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/President-Ayub-Khans-speech.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/blog.chughtaimuseum.com\/?attachment_id=3086\" class=\"wp-image-3086\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.chughtaimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/President-Ayub-Khans-speech.jpg 761w, http:\/\/blog.chughtaimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/President-Ayub-Khans-speech-300x293.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 761px) 100vw, 761px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">President Ayub Khans speech<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> Art activities in Karachi started with M.A. Rahman Chughtai&#8217;s show.
