Park named after Mehdi Hassan opened
KARACHI: Sindh Governor Dr Ishratul Ibad inaugurated a park named after ailing Ghazal maestro Mehdi Hassan in Block N of North Nazimabad on Monday. Mr Hassan was also present on the occasion.
Paying tribute to the veteran singer, Dr Ibad said that Mehdi Hassan`s fame was not confined to Pakistan only as he was known and admired by the people fond of Ghazal in every part of the world.
The singer not only introduced and proved himself through his poetic renditions, but also made a name for the country in the world, he said.
He said that whatever steps would be taken to compliment and honour Mr Hassan would always remain unmatched by his services to Urdu Ghazal and the country.
The governor recalled that following the demise of TV, film and stage actor Moin Akhtar, a park had been named after him and now another park was being dedicated to this famous singer.
He also asked the administrator of Karachi to name a park after the name of another stage, film and TV actor Umer Sharif.
Responding to media questions, the governor said that there was no misunderstanding between the PPP and the MQM on the issue of establishment of new provinces.
The two parties, who were in talks, would also succeed in framing the new local government/municipal system documents for the province very soon.
