PESHAWAR: A literary, cultural and social welfare organization, Gandhara Hindko Board, has arranged a grand open-air Hindko Mushaira (Poetry recital session) here on Monday (August 14) to mark the Independence Day.

The poetic sitting will start at 8:30 pm on the lawn of the Gor Gathri, a historic monument in the heart of the walled city of Peshawar.

A prominent trader and former senior vice-president of the Sarhad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI), Mr Sharafat Ali Mubarak, will be the chief guest on the occasion while a senior Hindko poet from Hazara and first translator of the Holy Quran into Hindko, Mr Haider Zaman Haider, will preside over the event.

Hindko poets from different parts of the province will pay poeticized tributes to those Independence Movement leaders and workers who struggled hard under the dynamic leadership of Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah to win freedom from the British 59 years back.
