PESHAWAR: A book launching ceremony of former professor and political activist Juma Khan Sufi “Fraib-e-Natamam” was held in Peshawar on Sunday.

A number of well-known personalities including Senator Professor Dr Mehertaj Roghani, Professor Shabir Ahmad Khan, Director Area Study Centre, Professor Sarfaraz Khan, former director of Area Study Centre, Professor Azmat Hayat Khan, former vice chancellor of Peshawar University, Dr Syed Farooq Shah, director of Institute of Research Council, and civil society activist and owner of the venue Khalid Ayub attended the book launching ceremony.

The writer has highlighted the issue of Pak-Afghan conundrum, the actual initiation of terrorism in historical perspective and the nationalist role in the overall situation.

Senator Professor Dr Mehertaj Roghani while talking on this occasion said that Juma Khan Sufi has done a splendid work and chose that topic which remained ignorant for years.

The other speakers eulogised the efforts of the writer for introducing them the burning topic of Pak-Afghan conundrum, the actual initiation of terrorism in historical perspective between and inside the two countries, and the nationalist struggle conducted hitherto by the Pakhtun sub-nationalists in further vitiating the atmosphere of mistrust between the two countries.

They supported the endeavours of the writer in baring the hard facts and helping in appreciating the efforts made by Pakistani authorities for forging and augmenting friendly ties with Afghanistan.

In the end, the writer of the book thanked all participants and highlighted the salient features of the books.

The books included the third and improved edition of his earlier famous autobiography, “Fraib-e-Natamam” and his well-researched English book on the struggle and personality of historic Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan with the name of Ghaffar Khan, Reluctant Nationalist.
