The much-hyped Sindh Cultural Festival finally began at the historical ruins of Mohenjo Daro on Saturday.
Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) patron-in-chief Bilawal Bhutto Zardari opened the festival, which would continue for 15 days.
PPP leaders Yousaf Raza Gilani, Faryal Talpur, Qamar Zaman Kaira, federal and provincial ministers, government figures and foreign delegates attended the colourful event.
According to reports, 5000 security personnel have been deployed at the venue.
Speaking to reporters, Bilawal described the festival as a historic step to promote culture in Sindh.
Earlier, Sindhi artists staged a protest for not being allowed entry in the cultural festival.
