Festivals – A Sign of Peace
The latest episode of Jwandai Jazbey (Alive Spirit) discussed the celebration of different types of festivals including national, traditional and religious festivals as a sign of peace.
People from different faiths, sects and ethnicities are living in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). They have their own cultures and traditions.
Mr. Shahab Uddin and Ms. Muskan Bangash, representatives of Provincial Youth Assembly, were the guests in the show. Mr. Shahab Uddin said that the National Youth Carnival and other festivals were aimed to show the world that there is peace in KP and FATA. Almost 16,000 students from all over the country took part in the carnival which was a big achievement for the KP government.
Ms. Muskan Bangash said that involving young people in positive activities will have a positive impact on their mind as it will keep them focused and occupied.
A report by Ceena Naeem was played and there were five calls received during the show.
