Addressing on the occasion, the Vice President said that this five volume set of poetry written by noted Urdu poet Late Muztar Khairabadi entitled “˜Khirman´ is a very valuable collection. He said that normally he has seen Javed Akhtar Ji sitting mostly silently in Rajya Sabha but today he has shown his unique skill.

He recalled that sometimes back he visited an Art Gallery in Delhi where a book by an artist cum activist was released. That book was banned and destroyed by Britishers and the only one copy of that book which he gifted to his mother was available later on. Afterwards the book was re-printed. That is why all old manuscripts and documents should be properly preserved. He recited a poem on the occasion ““ “Zanabe khizr raahe ishq men ladne se kya haasil; Main apna rasta le loon, tum apna rasta le lo.“ He congratulated Javed Akhtar and all his associates for bringing out such a valuable set of books.
