ISLAMABAD, March 17: Speakers lauded on Wednesday prominent critic, teacher and writer Dr Anwer Ahmed for developing institutions and building personalities.
At a session of Civic Café, a platform to strengthen the role of civil society through dialogue and to provide space for discussion on different topics, the speakers highlighted the contributions of Dr Ahmed, a professor of Urdu at the Osaka University, Japan.
Prominent among those who spoke on the occasion were Strengthening Participatory Organisation (SPO) Chief Executive Harris Khalique, International Islamic University Islamabad (IIUI) Rector Prof Fateh Mohammad Malik and Dr Rasheed Amjad.
SPO’s Head of Programme Zafar Zeeshan introduced Dr Ahmed and his contribution to teaching, research, literature and Urdu in Japan.
Mr Khalique said Dr Ahmed exquisitely linked politics without disturbing aesthetics, which was the essence of literature. He lauded Dr Ahmed for establishing an institution for language research, and said it was equivalent to offering resistance to colonial thoughts, who suppressed local languages.
The IIUI rector said Dr Ahmed was in the league of great luminaries of Pakistani literature like Patras Bokhari and Sufi Tabassum.
Dr Rasheed Amjad praised contribution of Dr Ahmed to promotion of Urdu in Pakistan and Japan. The event was also attended by Japanese students of Dr Ahmed.—A Reporter
