Famous educationalist and motivational speaker Qasim Ali Shah continues to grab attention after making divisive remarks about PTI leader Imran Khan.
Qasim Ali Shah has been appointed as Chairman Board of Governors of the Lahore Arts Council, despite the fact that the well-known motivational speaker is still dealing with the wrath of PTI supporters for his criticism of the former prime minister.
Shah posted about the development on social media. He is shown in the photo sitting in his new Lahore Arts Council office.
His appointment by the ruling alliance’s close ally and acting Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi has drawn criticism online because it is believed that he was given the job because of his criticism of the PTI chairman.
Here’s how people reacted:
Earlier, Qasim Shah stated his willingness to run for election on the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) ticket.
According to sources, Qasim Shah requested the party ticket when interviewing PTI Chairman Imran Khan at Zaman Park. Qasim Ali claimed that he intends to run for election from Gulshan Ravi Lahore, where he has lived since childhood.
Imran Khan assured QA Shah that he would be given a ticket. “The clean people should come to politics to lead the country instead of staying back,” Imran asserted.
In a video clip, former prime minister Imran Khan assured Qasim Ali that he will be given a ticket for his contributions.
