Punjab caretaker Chief Minister Syed Mohsin Naqvi Saturday visited the historic Badshahi Masjid and issued directions for the upgradation of the Tabarukat Gallery located within the Mosque, reported the 24NewsHD TV channel.
During a surprise visit to the Mosque, Mohsin Naqvi expressed his dismay at the plight of the Tabarukat holy section.
The section, which features a collection of ancient artifacts related to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his family as well as rare copies of the Holy Quran penned in gold and silver, is visited by Muslims from around the world.
The CM Mohsin Naqvi remarked that arrangements for keeping the sacred blessings attributed to the greatest personalities of the world should also be of the highest quality.
“Every sacred blessing should be preserved separately in the best way,” he added.
He issued orders to form a special committee for the upgradation of the Tabarukat section that would present a comprehensive and practicable plan to the government within a few days.
Naqvi also asked the authorities to replace the wet mats of the Badshahi Masjid premises.
Secretary Communication and Works Department Punjab, and Commissioner Deputy Commissioner Lahore were also present on the occasion.
