Dear Friends,

The meeting of writers and artists held on 13th May, 2002 at Triveni Kala Sangam (New Delhi) resolved to press for early restoration of Wali Dakani Gujrati's Mazar and Faiyaz Khan Sb's tomb to its glory along with the demands of removal of the BJP government in Gujrat , prosecution of Narendra Modi and proper relief to the affected.

All of us would be meeting on 27th May, 2002 at 6 pm at among Ghalib ki Mazar at Nizamuddin [New Delhi] where eminent poets and writers from all languages would recite Wali's and Ghalib's poetry and many of their own.

A symbolic structure of Wali's Mazar would also be unveiled there.
