KARACHI: Karachi’s mayor, Barrister Murtaza Wahab, has paid tribute to Pakistan’s founder, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, on his 149th birth anniversary, laying a floral wreath at the Mazar-e-Quaid on behalf of the city’s residents.
In a message marking the occasion, Wahab congratulated the nation and the people of Karachi, saying that the city held a unique honour as the birthplace and final resting place of Jinnah.
