Jimmy Engineer maintained he is more happy and satisfied when he renders some service to the Motherland and fellow-beings in the width and breadth of Pakistan to alleviate their sufferings to the maximum possible extent. He said that as an artist he is determined to paint Pakistan's soft image in the eyes of the comity of nations, as a social worker he is committed to work for the welfare of the suffering humanity in general and the Special Children in particular and as a peace activist he is dedicated to promote peace in the region.
Continuing, he said that he had displayed canvass prints of his selected major artwork including famous Pakistan Movement series of paintings last year in Lahore after lapse of several years.
