Srinagar, Sep 16: Jammu and Kashmir Academy of Art, Culture & Languages, Srinagar Saturday organized a lively interaction programme with Prof M H Zaffar, renowned writer, poet, academic, educationist and translator, at Tagore Hall, Srinagar.

Prof Zaffar made a special mention of Sufi poets of Kashmir to highlight the plural sources of Kashmir’s spiritual ethos.
