ISLAMABAD: After the resounding success on ‘Diriliş: Ertuğrul’, another Turkish drama serial is set to be aired on state-run television in Pakistan.
PTI leader Faisal Javed Khan announced that like Ertugrul, another Turkish show ‘Yunus Emre’ will now be aired on the state-run Pakistan Television (PTV) channel.
Taking to Twitter he shared, “On the directions of PM ImranKhan, yet another hit by Mehmet Bozdağ, Yunus Emre (Aşkin Yolculuğu) is to be telecast on PTV.”
He went on to add, “Yunus Emre (the Dervish) was an Islamic poet, a mystic and a poor villager. Story of a great Sufi wholly dedicated to Allah and search for unity.”
In the continuing tweet, Faisal shared, “It is a journey of transformation. Yunus Emre was well versed in mystical philosophy, especially that of the 13th-century poet and mystic Jalaluddin Rumi. Serial is a great example of a meticulous attention to detail work.”
