HYDERABAD: Zahoor-ul-Hasan, the son of Master Altaf Husain, a resident of Hyderabad, has claimed that his father Master Altaf Husain was the actual maker of the Pakistani flag at the time of the creation of Pakistan and demanded that his father’s name be included in the record of the movement of Pakistan.
Speaking at a news conference on Sunday, Zahoor-ul-Hasan said at the time when the new state of Pakistan was on the anvil of creation, the Father of the Nation, Quaid-e-Azam, got the flag of Pakistan designed by Amiruddin Kidwai. Zahoor said the Quaid brought the design to his father Altaf Husain, who was running a tailoring shop in Delhi with the name Husain Brothers.
The Quaid asked Altaf Husain to sew the new flag of Pakistan, which he promptly did. Zahoor presented before the press a photo of his father sewing the flag of Pakistan. The photo was also published on August 18 edition of the American weekly magazine LIFE. |
