Pakistani artiste in city

By Our Staff Reporter

HYDERABAD, JAN. 20. Frequent exchange of cultural delegations between India and Pakistan will go a long way in scaling down the tension between the two countries. "This is the best way to promote peace and harmony," said Mr. Khalid Baig, a visiting artiste of Pakistan.

The Hyderabad-born Khalid, who was on a private visit to the city, told presspersons on Saturday that art had no religion or boundaries. It should be utilised for the betterment of society. He complimented the efforts being made by the Indo-Pak Jubilee Cultural Society in bringing artistes of the two countries together.

Mr. Khalid Baig, who grew up in the King Koti area, was all praise for the efforts being made by the Chief Minister, Mr. N. Chandrababu Naidu, to beautify the city. He, however, felt that something should be done urgently to check the growing pollution levels in the city.
