Earlier, PTI senator Faisal Javed Khan said that another Mehmet Bozdağ directorial, Yunus Emre will be aired soon on state-run TV.
He further shared some insight about the drama. “”Yunus Emre (the Dervish) was an Islamic poet, a mystic & a poor villager,” he tweeted.
Faisal Javed further added that the show is the “story of a great Sufi wholly dedicated to ALLAH and searching for unity. It is a journey of transformation.”
Khan also called the serial ‘a great example of meticulous attention to detail.’
The senator has further detailed Emre’s personality, saying, “Yunus Emre was well versed in mystical philosophy, esp that of the 13th-century poet and mystic Jalaluddin Rumi.”
