MULTAN: Multan literary figures Saturday urged the district government to run the Multan Tea House affairs through public servants instead of private people.
Talking to reporters, senior writers asked the government in protest to remove their portraits from the Tea House as they are not being accorded due respect.Reportedly, writers and literary figures have limited their visits to the Tea House because of alleged commercial activities underway there.
The writers’ reservations came into the notice of the relevant circles when the district government officials contacted poets in connection with a recital. The poets refused to attend the recital in protest.
The writers called for opening doors of the Multan Tea House to all writers, poets and intellectuals and giving permission of holding only literary activities on the premises of the Tea House.
