The epic struggle for freedom by the Kashmiri Muslims despite the atrocities has been picturesquely documented in the book “Tragedy in Kashmir” launched at the Pakistan National Council of Arts (PNCA).
The PNCA in collaboration with Dr Zarqa Suharwardy Taimur had hosted the book launch. The book is authored by (late) Abdul Haq Suharwardy, the first and the only Kashmiri origin Chief Secretary of Azad Kashmir after 1947.
The book also covers the narrative of the foul play and sinful plot of Nehru family and the British Raj that made the heavenly valleys of Kashmir into a living hell for their true citizens. The story of how Muslim majority districts of Gurdaspur and Batala were given to India to establish a road connection to India.
The noted guests at the ceremony were Shafqat Mehmood, Federal Minister for Education & National History & Culture Division, Senator Walid Iqbal, Chairperson of the Senate Committee for Defence along with DG, PNCA, Dr Fouzia Saeed.
Renowned anchor and media person Mr Ahmed Qureshi hosted the book launch that was followed by the presentations of Dr Zarqa Suharwardy who briefly demonstrated the essence of book and role of the youth towards Kashmir Cause.
Shafqat Mehmood in his remarks stated that it was high time in the history of Kashmir and the book had come out to be the most relevant and resonates to the current situation. He appreciated the efforts of Dr Zarqa and DG PNCA for making this book launch a success.
