MLB Mushaira-7th-2014 Munawwar Rana

METICULOUSLY arranged 10th Mohan Lal Bhaskar Art and Theatre Festival not only enthralled the audience at Ferozepur but also facilitated a
platform in this border region to further furnish enriched natural talent among local coming buds.

During Festival, Mohan Lal Bhaskar Foundation (MLBF) organized All India Mushaira while the Mushira was commenced by lighting the lamps and showering flowers at the picture of Mohan Lal Bhaskar by Prabha Bhaskar, patron-in-chief of the foundation, Arpit Shukla, I.G (Headquarter), Amar Singh Chahal, DIG Bathinda range, Mohinish Chawla, DIG Ferozepur range, Parambir Singh Parmar, SSP (V), and Gursewak Singh Kaish Man, SAD(B) leader.

It is worth to mention that the event was organised annually in the memory of former Indian Spy in Pakistan, Mohan Lal Bhaskar who while
working an agent with Indian Security agencies intruded sixteen times to Pakistan but held on seventieth visit due to breach by a double
cross agent. He was awarded death sentence by a Pakistani court but higher court reduced it to fourteen years of imprisonment and he
was repatriated under Shimla agreement on December 9 1974.

Later on he narrated his experiences in the various jails of Pakistan in an autobiography under the title 'Under The Shadow of Bayonets and
Bars' which was awarded Saansad Sri Kant Verma National Award in 1989 by then Vice President of India Sh.Shanker Diyal Sharma. This book had
been also published in various ten languages of India.
