Lahore: The move to appoint the well-known motivational speaker Qasim Ali Shah as the Chairperson of the Board of Governors of Al Hamra Arts Council was challenged.
According to the report, the petitioner, who challenged the decision of the chairperson of Qasim Ali Shah’s Al Hamra Art Council in the Lahore High Court, is of the view that the caretaker government has awarded the people it likes.
In the petition filed, other members of the board including caretaker Chief Minister Punjab have been made parties.
In the petition, it has been stated that the caretaker government has appointed Qasim Ali Shah as the chairperson of Al Hamra Art Council for three years. While for the post of Board of Governors, the concerned persons should be related to the field of art or culture.
The petitioner further contends that other members including Qasim Ali Shah have nothing to do with art or culture. The petitioner requests that the appointment of members of the Board of Governors, including Qasim Ali Shah, should be annulled and the Caretaker Chief Minister should be restrained from making appointments outside the jurisdiction.
