In some photos, the Quaid is shown with Mohandas Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru and British officials. Other photographers show political leaders during rallies and public meetings.

The exhibition was inaugurated by Assistant Commissioner Ms. Qandeel Fatima Memon along with Director Waqar Ahmed. Dozens of people from different walks of life visited the exhibition.

Speaking on the occasion, Ms. Qandeel Fatima Memon said Pakistan was the interpretation of the dreams of the Muslims of the subcontinent. The photo exhibition shows the sacrifices our forefather rendered for the creation of of Pakistan. Our young generation is very diligent and worthy. They have to protect Pakistan on ideological grounds. Today we are breathing in a free atmosphere because of Quaid-i-Azam, she added.
