I’ll let the photo do most of the talking. Just a brief introduction. These cars belonged to Fatima Jinnah and are now rotting at Sindh Archive offices in Clifton Karachi. Photo is taken from Trekearth.

Quaid-e-Azam’s cars are just fine:

What’s the point that we actually want to make?
Do we consider Fatima Jinnah as an important personality in the history of Pakistan or does she stand among the que in whcih Benazir, Altaf or mushee are lined up.
Keeping aside all offence, u cn’t compare benazir’s scarf or mushee’s wardee with Ms.Fatima Jinnah’s car,they aren’t comparable at all.
Faraz:
I appriciate your sense of humor. Its good to be a devil’s advocate. Personally, I might not care about these cars, they are just piece of junk. But not being emotional, I don’t know of any nation that doesn’t care about her heroes!!! What you think??
Moeen:
I appreciate the sarcasm. I don’t want get into a whole argument about these cars :), but there’s surely no need to burn them or blow them up with Pakistan’s latest nuclear warhead. Lets not get all emotional. Raddiwalla aka recycle actually sounds like a good idea. (Hey, someone has to play the devil’s advocate, right?)
The cars in the photo above are part of our national heritage and national history therefore they need to be preserved.
On another note, Quaid-e-Azam Mohd. Ali Jinnah’s cars are very well preserved in the museum adjacent to his mausoleum. I visited it last time in 2005 and was very impressed. They are part of the National Heritage.
Faraz:
I agree with you. I think they should either just burn these cars or maybe throw them in the sea. Or maybe sell them to “raddi-walla.” After all, they are just friggin cars, whats the big deal about it???
regards.
They are just friggin cars. Get over it. Why spend money (if the country had any) on keeping these cars in good condition? Sorry, I don’t see the point.
