Intoxication August 15th, 2005, 11:48 PM Bab-e-Pakistan reflection of tremendous sacrifices: CM
LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister, Ch. Pervaiz Elahi, expressing the hope that the 'Bab-e-Pakistan' project would prove to be a magnificent monument to the transmigration which took place at the time of the establishment of Pakistan and the sacrifices rendered for the sake of freedom, has said that the monument would always keep reminding the nation and the generations to come that as many as 14 million people had to migrate with the emergence of Pakistan.
Speaking at a function held in connection with the 'Bab-e-Pakistan' launching ceremony, the Chief Minister reminded that eight million out of the total number of migrants, were Muslims and in order to get the nation to have the blessing of freedom, seven lakhs Muslims laid down their lives. He pointed out that the presence of the provincial chief ministers of various provinces and other peoples representatives in the function, reflected the peoples solidarity and common national objectives. He said that the day of 14th August dawned on the country with the freedom songs on the lips and the colours of those sacrifices in the eyes which the forefathers of the nation rendered during the struggle for freedom.
The Chief Minister further expressed the hope that the 'Bab-e-Pakistan' project would be reflective of both sort of sentiments. He proposed that the nation should also pay tributes to the officers and the Jawans of the Pak Army with regard to the independence day who laid down their lives in defending the Pak land during various wars fought for the defence of the motherland. Pointing out that President, General Pervaiz Musharraf had announced to get the 'Bab-e-Pakistan' project construction completed under the supervision of the army, Ch. Pervaiz Elahi expressed gratitude to the Lahore Corps Commander and his team for taking extra-ordinary interest in the project.
Concluding his speech, the Chief Minister assured the President of the country that he would find the Pakistani masses everywhere neck and neck him in the struggle for the uplift and integrity of the Quaid-e-Azam's Pakistan and his war against ignorance and indigence.

Hope August 16th, 2005, 12:08 PM There are historical reason behind the selection of the location. It was the first refugee camp setup in 1947 and people who has any connection with that camp has an emotional link!

Tagga August 16th, 2005, 08:44 PM look where the idiots are building it!
Near Walton Airstrip and Lahore intl
Walton was the camp in 1947, building it somewhere else doesnt make any sense, Baab-e-Pakistan was proposed in 1980's but the army wasnt ready to clear the area. But now army has cleared the area and Musharraf says its a gift to Lahore from Pak Army.
Walton is not a military airbase anymore, it is used as a drag strip.
And this is atleast 15Kms away from Lahore Intl.
pakboy August 16th, 2005, 10:28 PM walton is just a flying club were the rich b*tches of lahore and punjab go.

Sultan August 17th, 2005, 04:48 AM The Bab-e-Pakistan project would be completed within two years, as the President said. Its a beautiful project, and I'm look forward to seeing it done by 2007, Insh'Allah.
Gumnaam August 19th, 2005, 11:34 PM walton is just a flying club were the rich b*tches of lahore and punjab go.

Walton is still a airstrip but if it really was a historical site why the hell is the airstrip thier? :sleepy: According to flight sim its very close to Lahore INTL
Tagga August 20th, 2005, 09:02 PM Walton is still a airstrip but if it really was a historical site why the hell is the airstrip thier? :sleepy: According to flight sim its very close to Lahore INTL
The air strip is really old, I dont have official info but on the 50th Anniversary of Pakistan, Walton Club arranged a special programme in which visitors were given a ride in an airplane which Quaid-e-Azam used in the 40s at Walton. So it was built before partition.
Its atleast 15Kms from Lahore Intl.

PML playing historic role in Pakistan: CM
LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi said that the PML, under the leadership of President Musharraf, was playing a historic role for the achievement of the objectives of Pakistan’s creation. The chief minister appreciated the services of the PMWT for workers of the Pakistan Movement, and for creating awareness among the younger generation about the movement. He said that work on the Bab-e-Pakistan project, a monument to commemorate refugees who camped in Walton during the partition, had been initiated. “The Punjab government has provided Rs 330 million for the project while President Pervez Musharraf is taking keen interest in it, and himself laid the foundation of the monument,” Elahi said. “It will hopefully be inaugurated on August 14.” The chief minister also offered complete support to the Nazriya-e-Pakistan Foundation’s project for the establishment of a library in Johar Town. He expressed his satisfaction at the completion of work on the Madir-e-Millat Park. The chief minister said that PML’s centenary celebrations would continue throughout the year. Seminars would also be arranged to highlight the sacrifices of leaders of the Pakistan Movement, so that the younger generation could be apprised of the objectives of the creation of Pakistan, he said. The chief minister also announced the approval of a grant for the installation of an elevator at the PMWT’s headquarters. staff report

02.11.06
Press Release
LAHORE: Work on the Bab-e-Pakistan Complex on Walton Road has started under President General Pervez Musharraf's directive. The President approved the construction of the monument on the recommendations of Punjab Chief Minister Mr Pervaiz Ellahi.
http://www.thepost.com.pk/images/DtlImages/66563.jpg
Bab-e-Pakistan signifies great sacrifices and unprecedented courage displayed by the young and old who migrated from India to this cherished homeland of Muslims. It will be a befitting tribute to those who laid down their lives for Pakistan and will be a source of motivation and guidance to our future generations
Though the idea of constructing a national monument by the name of Bab-e-Pakistan was approved by the late General Zia Ul Haq in 1985, but the project could not commence due to various reasons.
President General Pervez Musharraf's decision to assign the project to Lahore Corps facilitated the project's construction in a most economical manner.
The Punjab government has extended financial assistance to Pakistan Army and is maintaining close liaison with the army in execution of this project.

Metropole November 16th, 2006, 06:17 PM I found an official site for this project:
http://www.bab-e-pakistan.gov.pk/
Although the idea behind the project is good, in my opinion the design of the monument is extremely mediocre. I wish that they had come up with a better design.
To give you an idea of what I mean, look at the Mughal era monuments and compare them to the monuments we're building nowadays. The Minar-e-Pakistan is pathetic, it doesn't even compare to the Qutub Minar that was built 638 years ago. The Mazar of Quaid is lame compared to Taj Mahal. The neo-Mughal Prime Minister's residence is plain horrible. The proposed Bab-e-Pakistan is another in a long line of awful design that gives me the creeps.

Sikandar April 9th, 2007, 06:52 AM LAHORE: Minister for the Chief Minister’s Inspection Team Shuja Khanzada said on Sunday that the Bab-e-Pakistan monument is being constructed on 103 acres at a cost of Rs 2.09 billion.
The monument was a tribute to those who laid down their lives for the sake of Pakistan, he said. The minister was speaking to newsmen at the Bab-e-Pakistan site on Sunday.
The minister expressed his satisfaction with the pace of work. He said that the project would be completed in August 2009. The minister appreciated the efforts of the Project Steering Board and Corps Commander Lieutenant General Shafaat Ullah for removing bottlenecks in the execution of the project. Shuja Khanzada said a modern chahar bagh would be laid.
The minister also commented on the support and keen interest of President Pervez Musharraf, Punjab chief minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi, governor Khalid Maqbool for reviving the project.

sami231 February 11th, 2009, 03:34 AM Shahbaz annoyed at delay in completion of Baab-e-Pakistan
Wednesday, February 11, 2009
LAHORE: Chief Minister Mian Shahbaz Sharif, expressing dissatisfaction over the delay in the construction of the Baab-e-Pakistan on Tuesday, said that like other schemes, the project had also been delayed during the past eight years despite the availability of funds.
He said the criminal negligence was also displayed in the accomplishment of the other projects for the welfare of masses. He issued directions for the review of all the aspects of the project and constitution of a high level committee for its early completion. While taking strict notice of importing marble worth more than Rs700 million for the project, he said the country could not afford expenditure of huge foreign exchange on the import of the costly stone.
The chief minister stated this during a briefing held to review implementation of the project of Baab-e-Pakistan at Walton. Member National Assembly Khawaja Saad Rafiq, members provincial assembly Col (retd) Shuja Khanzada, Yasin Sohal, Project Director Brig Asif Murad, Secretary Finance and other officers concerned were also present on the occasion. Col (retd) Shuja Khanzada and the project director gave a detailed briefing regarding the pace of work on Baab-e-Pakistan.
The chief minister said the Baab-e-Pakistan Project should have been completed in the last year and there was no hurdle in its completion as all the funds were available for the project but the construction company unjustifiably delayed its completion and the pace of work was also slow. He lamented over delay in the project, being carried out in the memory of those who made sacrifices for the Pakistan Movement

Ahmad Rashid Ahmad February 13th, 2010, 11:58 AM CHIEF Minister Mian Shahbaz Sharif on Friday expressed his indignation over the delay in the completion of Baab-e-Pakistan project.
He said that despite his instructions last year, neither the pace of work on the project was accelerated nor any boys and girls schools, which were part of the project, were completed.
During his visit to Baab-e-Pakistan on the Walton Road, the chief minister said the historic project to mark the sacrifices of the forefathers of the nation for the creation of the country was vital and no further delay would be tolerated in this regard. He said the criminal negligence was shown by the former rulers during the last eight years towards the project and the project was still incomplete despite the availability of funds.
Shahbaz said that during his visit to the Baab-e-Pakistan last year, he had issued instructions for the early completion of the project but the pace of work had not been expedited satisfactorily. He said nothing could be more important than education but the boys and girls schools had also not been completed.
The CM said that though the common man was deprived of even basic necessities, there was a plan to import stone worth Rs 700 million from abroad for the project which was immediately stopped and instructions were issued for using only the local material. He said the country could not afford wastage of resources and along with maintaining quality of development projects, austerity would also have to be ensured. He said that no effort should be spared in the early completion of the project and schools should also be completed on a priority basis.
Earlier, Project Director Brig Asif Murad gave a detailed briefing regarding the project. He said the project, which was started in 2006, was to be completed in 2008.
Member National Assembly Kh Saad Rafiq informed the chief minister about the causes of the delay.
Members Provincial Assembly Col (Retd) Shuja Khanzada, Mian Naseer Ahmed, Muhammad Yaseen Sohal, and officers concerned were also present.

When I said "again" I meant that as a question! I know its weird but I hear people say it all the time!
What the Question really meant is "Why are they making this. Whats the memorial for".

here is a bit information i hope it will be helpful:)
The idea of Bab-e-Pakistan was conceived by Late Lt. Gen. Ghulam Jillani, Governor Punjab, in 1985. He discussed it with the President of Pakistan who readily accepted the idea and immediately issued a letter under his own signatures to Governor Punjab for a go ahead on the Project.
The project was formulated in 1991 under the name and style of National Memorial Bab-e-Pakistan with the following aims:-
1) To set up a befitting complex in memory of those who in the words of
Quaid-i-Azam were “The valiant fighters in our cause who readily sacrificed all they had, including their lives, to make Pakistan possible”.
2) To create a part of our history, by preserving significant remains of the Walton Camp and developing the vast surround in the Walton, so as to provide a place where one could pay respect to the memory of those who died and suffered in the march to Freedom: to the memory of those who passed through the perilous process, millions who dreamed, struggled but could not make it to Walton even.
3) To acknowledge and commemorate selfless contribution made by those who
contributed in some measures small or large to the alleviation of the trials, tribulations and miseries of the mass of refugees who arrived daily in Pakistan in search of the promised land.

Ahmad Rashid Ahmad January 27th, 2012, 11:39 PM CM reviews Bab-e-Pakistan’s construction
Punjab Chief Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif presided over a high level meeting to review the progress on the Bab-e-Pakistan complex project at the Chief Minister’s Secretariat on Thursday.
The CM said the Bab-e-Pakistan was important as it was dedicated to the nation’s forefathers who rendered sacrifices for the country and that the project would highlight their sacrifices and make the youth aware about the Pakistan Movement.
He directed that the project, which had been delays, be completed within the specified time frame. A number of decisions regarding the project’s completion were also taken. The Bab-e-Pakistan Project Director Col (R) Shabbir and Project Secretary Dr Allah Bakhsh Malik gave a detailed briefing about the project’s construction and the reasons behind the delay.

If I remember correctly, its foundation stone was laid in early 90's during the first tenure of Nawaz Sharif as PM:old::omg:
