Pakistan artistes in India for cultural festival
by Ravinder
Singh Robin
Wagah
border (Punjab): More than 30 artistes crossed
over from Lahore to Amritsar to take part in 'Saanjh:
Amritsar-Lahore Festival', a cultural extravaganza
aimed at increasing people-to-people contact between
the two countries. The festival has been organised
by Punarjot under the aegis of Spring Dale Education
Society. The festival takes place in two phases. First
in Lahore and second in Amritsar, and showcases a
diverse range of performing arts including Sufi, folk
and classical music. The artistes said that both the
countries had their own problems and should look forward
to encouraging peace and love amongst the people.
"All the struggle that is being put towards enhancing
peace is being done with a purpose. There is a common
flash point between the two countries, which is Kashmir
and it has been facing turbulence at different times.
We worry about that all the time. I think we should
look at peace and love," said Fahazan Peerzada, a
Pakistani artiste. The event will take place in New
Delhi till October 30.
