Pakistan: ‘Confusion over 9/11 has effects on literature’

Scholars here are sharply divided over the reality of 9/11 episode and that’s why there is conceptual confusion on how to respond to its after-effects, said Prof Tajuddin Tajwar of the Department of Urdu, University of Peshawar, here on Sunday.

“The worst thing in evaluating the impacts of 9/11 on Urdu poetry and even on our whole social life is that we are not completely aware of the details of the 9/11, rather deliberate confusion has befogged the minds of our writers and they have no unanimous view on the war on terror,” he said during his lecture on “Impact of 9/11 on Urdu literature” here at the Research Library, Peshawar.
