“We have no reservations against anyone and those who spoke against as a part of election campaign should now give up their opposition as they were our friends and we all should work for the betterment of members of the Arts Council. Instead of opposing each other, we should work together in the larger interest of members of Arts Council and for the cause of promotion of arts, theatre, and culture”.
The views were expressed by the newly-elected President of the Arts Council, Muhammad Ahmed Shah, at a function celebrating victory (called ‘Yaum-e-Tashakur’).

He further noted that he would welcome all suggestions made by Omar Sharif and other friends.
