The reference under way on Tuesday evening.
KARACHI: The Arts Council of Pakistan Karachi on Tuesday evening held in its Josh Malihabadi Library an event to pay tribute to the renowned Indian literary critic, playwright and poet Prof Shamim Hanfi who passed away on May 6 this year.
Indian poet Ranjit Singh Chohan, who joined proceedings online, was the first speaker. He said Hanfi sahib’s death was his personal loss. He was the life of literary events. Chohan regretted the fact that in the second wave of the pandemic when the late scholar couldn’t make it to the Jashn-i-Adab [in India] he didn’t like it and stopped taking his calls for some time. Afterwards he himself and Hanfi sahib contracted coronavirus. The latter reached a stage where he needed the support of a ventilator.
