Cultural coup inaugural event captivates the audience
MOENJODARO: PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari inaugurated the Sindh Cultural Festival at the historic ruins of Moenjodaro on Saturday night, which would continue for 15 days.
Speaking to reporters, Bilawal Bhutto described the festival as a historic step to promote the culture of Sindh. The objective of the cultural festival is to celebrate the culture of Sindh and to spread the message of Sindhi poet Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai. Renowned singers enthralled the audience with their songs, which were highly appreciated.
Folk dancers and singers wearing traditional multi-coloured dresses gathered on Saturday at one of the world’s most ancient archaeological sites in southern Pakistan for a festival that organisers say aspires to promote peace in a nation where political violence has left some 40,000 dead in recent years.
Renowned folk singer Sain Zahur and Rahat Fatah Ali Khan, a Pakistani singer primarily of Qawwali, a devotional music of the Muslim Sufis stole the show.
The festival at Moenjodaro aims to publicise the cultural heritage of the country’s south. But it drew controversy when some archaeologists said the event poses a threat to the site’s unbaked brick ruins dating to the 3rd millennium BC. Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, the son of assassinated Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, organised the event at Moenjodaro, associated with one of the world’s first urban societies, the Indus Valley civilisation.
