According to the Focal Person on Digital Media to CM Punjab Azhar Mashwani, the Parks & Horticulture Authority (PHA) will not remove the statue but will fix it so that it looks more like Iqbal.

لاہور کے ایک پارک میں وہاں کے مالیوں نے مل کر علامہ اقبال کی عقیدت میں ان کا مجسمہ بنایا

اس میں حکومت کی اجازت یا فنڈز شامل نہیں تھے.

چونکہ یہ سب مالیوں کی جانب سے عقیدت کے اظہار میں کیا گیا اس لیے ان کے خلاف کوئی ایکشن نہیں لیا جا رہا لیکن مجسمے کو @PHALHR بہتر کروائے گا pic.twitter.com/9qGko5hbEK

The structure drew the ire of social media users after pictures of it were widely circulated on social media.
