Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Kashmir Shehryar Khan Afridi has urged the Kashmir activists to work together with Kashmir Committee (@KCPak4) to help preserve, project and proliferate Kashmir issue with its cultural aspect as fascist Hindutva agents are trying to damage the cultural heritage of Kashmir.
Afridi expressed these views during a meeting with eminent actor, director and producer Shan Shahid here at the KC Chambers in the parliament house. Shan was accompanied by a delegation of his colleagues.
Shehryar Khan Afridi said that India’s occupational regime was making last ditch efforts to keep Kashmir occupied and were employing all dirty tricks to damage the identity and culture of Kashmir.
He said Kashmir had a unique and distinct culture and the Hindutva regime being led by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was now targeting the Kashmiri identity and its culture.
He said the recent move by the Indian military regime in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu & Kashmir (IIOJK) proved that the demographic change plan has a principal component of efforts to damage the identity and cultural fabric and heritage of Kashmir.
“Hindutva regime has understood the fact that resistance runs in blood and breath of the Kashmiri people and hence efforts are on to damage the Kashmiri culture. Moreover, Kashmiri heritage is also being targeted during military operations in across Kashmir,” said the Kashmir Committee Chairman.
He urged Pakistan’s film and drama industry to work on projects to preserve and project the true culture and heritage of Kashmiri people who are under attack from Hindutva regime, a Nazi-inspired fascist government, from all sides.
Afridi said that in this age of information, cultural onslaught has been launched to target Pakistani culture and the federal and provincial governments would do whatever they can to preserve and protect our culture.
Ahsan Mashkoor promised the delegation to become its technological arm, which will abet the committee in Digital Content Distribution through the latest technical tools.*
Ahsan Mashkoor, who is the CEO of the tech-house Csquare, urged the committee to give distribution of content equal importance to content creation.*
Google is the greatest information aggregator in history, and two things win at google, Volume of content and Quality of Content. Therefore we need to ensure that we create an amalgamation of the aforementioned qualities so that our narrative remains relevant.
Lauding the services of Shan, Mr Afridi said that late Riaz Shahid, Neelo Begum and Shan have rendered unmatched services projecting Pakistani film industry and they are pride and assets of the country.
