‘Aiwan-e-Quaid to prove ideological fort for youth’

LAHORE – Aiwan-e-Quaid-e-Azam, a state-of-the-art project, would prove an ideological fort and a training centre for the new generation that would impart information about the Pakistan Movement.
A noted magazine on Architecture and Engineering, ‘Build Plus’, reported these views in its recent publication.
Aiwan-e-Quaid is being constructed on the vision of TheNation Editor-in-Chief and Nazaria Pakistan Trust Chairman Majid Nizami for the ideological training of the youth. Former Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani and Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif had inaugurated the building, which would be completed in two phases.
The construction work on Phase-I was started on August 2011. A picture gallery about Two-Nation Theory, an auditorium, a documentary and a research centre, Pakistan Ideological Training University, hostels and Yadgar Shuhuda-e-Pakistan would be constructed at the Aiwan.
A need had always been felt by the patriotic Pakistani people that there was not a single memorial in the name of great leader who had founded a country for the Muslims of the sub-continent. Keeping in this mind, Majid Nizami had presented the vision to build Aiwan-e-Quaid.
An auditorium with 1,000 capacity, a research centre and a boarding house for students came from remote areas of the country would add to its glory, the magazine reported.
