Unknown thieves stole spectacles from the statute of father of the nation Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah installed inside the deputy commissioner’s office. The incident took place in Southern Punjab’s city of Vehari.
According to the district administration, the statue is situated at the deputy commissioner’s office and that is where the peculiar incident took place. The police have said that the incident took place late last night and that CCTV footage, from the cameras installed in the office, is being used to trace the culprits.
Chief Minister Usman Buzdar has taken notice of the incident and sought a report from Commissioner Multan. The CM said that legal action would be taken against those who had committed this shameful act. He has also ordered the district administration to immediately replace the glasses on the statue of Quaid-e-Azam.
The stolen spectacles were monocle glasses, a single lens reading gadget that Pakistan's founder frequently used during his lifetime.
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the monocle was generally associated with wealthy upper-classmen. Combined with a morning coat and a top hat, the monocle completed the costume of the stereotypical 1890s capitalist. Monocles were most prevalent in the late 19th century, but are rarely worn today.
