Owais Mughal

This photo is recently been making rounds on the internet. The text, though a bit out of ‘qaafia’ and ‘wazan’ is self-explanatory.

For the past few years, writings on Rickshaw backs have started to emerge as a commentary on Pakistani society. We’ve covered them at ATP atleast three time. It also makes us curious whether it is the same rickshaw (see here and here) or different rickshaws with the same painter at work. Note the top most line and the words ‘Always Speak the Truth’ at the bottom are the same in all three rickshaw photos.

    The license plate numbers in 3 photos are not matching therefore I tend to believe it is the same painter but may not be the same rickshaw.

    Interesting. I checked the earlier pictures. I do think it is the same rickshaw. Geo TV should give him his own show!

    But the meaasge carries “full Wazan”,which should be painted(displayed) on President House and his aircraft on which he travels so frequently all around the world on our expences.

    We should get this painter to work on Prime minister’s official motorcade
