Tributes paid to Masood Mufti

ISLAMABAD - Masood Mufti always raised his voice against the exploitations of the oppressed society. His characters could see to be chosen from the real life. Dr Maqsooda Hussain has done a wonderful job by compiling the book "Masood Mufti: Shakhsiyat Aur Fun" for Pakistan Academy of Letters.

These views were expressed by Agha Nasir who presided over the launching ceremony of recently published book under the series of Pakistani Adab Ke Memar"Masood Mufti: Shakhsiyat Aur Fun" by Dr Maqsooda Hussain.

The event was arranged by Pakistan Academy of Letters. Masood Mufti was the chief guest while Dr Maqsooda Hussain was the guest of honor.

Iftikhar Arif, Chairman, Pakistan Academy of Letters, Kishwar Naheed, Aftab Iqbal Shameem, Mansha Yad and Mohammad Hameed Shahid expressed their views. Asghar Abid conducted the proceedings.

Agha Nasir said that Masood Mufti uses very simple and precise language and never tries to use classical idioms and difficult language in fiction.

This is the reason that he successfully reaches even his common readers like Manto.

These stories reflect our society. We can easily access that he has very close observation of common people's lives and is well aware of the issues and problems of the masses.
