ISLAMABAD: Advisor to the Prime Minister on National History and Literary Heritage, Irfan Siddiqui, said on Sunday that the government would constitute a committee to recognise the services of unsung heroes and their contributions in the field of literature, education, research and culture.
He was addressing a ceremony for the launch of book “Pidrum Sultan Boo”, written by former Managing Director of Pakistan Television Akhtar Waqar Azeem.
Irfan said that this committee would work under the supervision of Iftikhar Arif and the books will be published by the government to highlight the work of unsung heroes for the future generation.
He said that unfortunately, there is no system to highlight the work of those who go unnoticed.
Irfan Siddique said that due to the lack of great writers, our new generation and present society was facing issues of morality.
He said: “We need books and writers to save the future of youth and hailed the best services of late Professor Syed Waqar Azeem in the education sector.”
He said that Syed Waqar was a institute for others and we need these types of characters in this age to protect our civilisation and promote values of tolerance, unity, peace and love.
