Looks like the sculptor misread his creative brief, and so confused #AllamaIqbal with #QamarBajwa to create a ‘hybrid’ bust 😝 pic.twitter.com/CgJHeWPHnh

Meanwhile, Chairman – Parks and Horticulture of Lahore, Yasir Gillani clarified that the sculpture was made by Gardners as a token of love, hence they can’t take action against them but they have directed to fix it as soon as possible.
“Dear, this is prepared by maalis at their own, they made it in sheer love for Iqbal and to pay homage from their heart. Authority didn’t approve or even paid a single penny for it. We will address it but can anyone see from maalis eyes, their love,” he wrote on Twitter.
