After the creation of Pakistan, when the Pakistani currency was printed, only the portrait of the founder of Pakistan, Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, has been printed on the Rs 5 to Rs 5,000 notes.

Observers say the significance of what has occurred cannot be understated.

Arshad Malik stood up from his seat in the Punjab Assembly session and took out a note of five thousand and demanded that along with Quaid-e-Azam, the picture of Nawaz Sharif should also be on this note.

Of particular significance is the fact that arguing in favor of his demand, the PML-N MPA stated that it was Nawaz Sharif, who led this country towards development.
