A commemorative lecture programmed by Khan Badosh Writers Cafe in connection with the 281st Urs of Hazrat Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai titled “Poet against power and authority”.

He said that Shah Latif has written symbolic poetry on the incident of Jhok in many magazines such as Kapaiti, Kahori, Suni and Kalyan.
Sundus said that the genius of the world is poetry and symbolism, which is an important place.
