Azadi-line (leaders want respect)

Like many girls, I strive of wearing new and luxurious clothes, and cherry on top, if you’re getting them on sale. Likewise, I was strolling renowned brands for buying them, whilst, I came through beautiful green dress, with beautifully written urdu language on it. I instantly click on the image and back of shirt. I got impressed, but when I zoomed in, I realized there were few pictorial images on it. Like below, on above it was none other than, Quaid e Azam, with music Queen, Madam Noor Jahan and right side it was Allama Iqbal. I got emotional, and left the idea of buying. I commented on Sana Safinaz Page, and few hours ago, I got reply. It could be worn on front side too. Anyway, I replied, and our conversation end, but my emotions won’t let me stop.

 Here I began to register my complaint. I post shirt picture (after cropping model) on famous Islamabad Salon & Fashion Forum.


Pictorial of leaders are used as symbol of affection and patriotism. Designer and people wear leader’s pictures on their shirts for showing solidarity. Few years back, Photo of Turkey leader got famous while taking out of his country flag from floor and placing on pocket. Once, we celebrated Independence Day, with a message to take a care of all flags, and placed all after Independence Day with care. And special message of don’t throw flags on floor because happiness is useless without respect.
The whole story, that I was trying to build here is, national days depict world how the nation is, unfortunately, only India staple us as nation. Current azadi-line of brand Sana Safinaz made many to think, how we present our leaders, specially our founder of country. Back of Shirt or slit of shirt, more specific, pasted the photo of Quaid e Azam, on right side, and Allama Iqbal on left side, with center full of famous ladies. This is highly disgraceful, how one illustrate leader of a nation. No doubt, brand post same shirt on front side too, but how come one could justified.
Is this a personal matter of one brand or company, why no rules, applied for blind industry, nudity has part of fashion industry, but committing, irresponsible attitude towards country.
Nutshell, this is too ungraceful and keep justify unethical ways. It’s become our national dilemma, who talked right, considered mad. Sadly, government succeed in making cyber-crime bill, but still we are living in the era of stone-age, where luxurious clothes are more valuable than words. How do we expect good nation, when we failed to respect our leaders and learn lesson from history.
Every Independence Day remains incomplete, when we fails to protect our children from kidnapping, when we fails to share history of Pakistan to our children without books, when pictorial image of leaders wont post on slits or back of shirts. It should be posted on the chest with pride of badges. Sorry we need to take a break and think, where we are heading to.
