PAK WRITER CALLS FOR END TO WEAPONS OF DESTRUCTION
ALIGARH
October 30:
Eminent Pakistani writer Dr Aliya Imam today
urged intellectuals to propagate the message of peace and work for bringing an
end to the weapon culture including trading in weapons of mass destruction. She
said that the world should make use of science in general, and the nuclear
science in particular for peaceful and humanitarian purposes to promote
tolerance, harmony and humanism.
She
said "a writer is not only supposed to write but also analyses research involved
in writing. She further pointed out that a meaningful literature is one, which
seeks to bring about social changes." She expressed her views during a function
held at the Urdu Academy, Aligarh Muslim University.
Quoting
Urdu poets of colossal stature Ghalib, Iqbal, Josh and Faiz, Dr. Imam stated
that the work of these poets reflected reality of their times and they always
maintained a balance in society and culture.
Worried
of the growing weapon culture in the world, she said that it is a pity that
certain powers are using science for making weapons of mass destruction which
has also caused expansion to the culture of violence and brutality across the
globe.
