This is the building where Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah stayed for rest during last of days of his life in #Ziarat. This is an Icon building of #Balochistan and #Pakistan. This is the national heritage that also contained many personal belongings of the Quaid.

We strongly condemn attack on Quaid's Residency in Ziarat. It's not the way to get justice. This has upset every Pakistani as the building symbolized Quaid and his struggle for Pakistan.

c. 1940s: Bollywood Actor A K Hangal at his tailoring Shop, Peshawar

Avtar Kishan Hangal (1 February 1917 – 26 August 2012) popularly known as A. K. Hangal, was an Indian freedom fighter from 1929–1947 and also stage actor from 1936–1965 and later became a character actor in Hindi language films from 1966–2005.

Born into a Kashmiri Pandit family in Sialkot, he spent his childhood in Peshawar, where he had performed in theatre for some major roles. His father's name was Pandit Hari Kishan Hangal. However, his primary occupation for the early part of his life was that of a tailor. He was an active participant in the Indian freedom struggle from 1929–1947. He joined Shree Sangeet Priya Mandal, a theatre group in Peshawar in 1936 and continued to act in many plays in pre Partition Pakistan till 1946. Following his father's retirement, the family moved from Peshawar to Karachi. He moved to Bombay after the Partition of India in 1949 after 3 years in prison in Pakistan. He was involved with the theatre group IPTA along with Balraj Sahni and Kaifi Azmi, both of whom had Marxist leanings. He was jailed because he was a communist in Karachi for two years from 1947–1949 and after his release came to India and settled in Mumbai. He later acted in many plays in theatres in India from 1949–1965.

The 1970's was a busy period for the noted character actor, right from acting in more than a dozen Rajesh Khanna films, and performing his most popular role - that of Imam Saheb in Sholay (1975).
