Pakistan has got the best Prime Minister who oversees every aspect of the country.

As a huge fan of Turkish drama series, he has another new recommendation for the people of Pakistan. Earlier, he recommended the Dirilis Ertugrul Turkish series and issued orders for it to be dubbed in Urdu on the national channel so that locals could understand the content. It is safe to call Ertugrul Dirilis the favorite drama series among South Asian countries, considering its popularity.
The next name on PM Imran Khan’s top drama list is Yunus Emre. This blockbuster drama series revolves around the Sufi poet Yunus Emre who has strong roots in the history of Turk poetry. He is known for devoting his life to the praise of Allah Almighty, the Supreme Creator.
In a recent interview, PM Khan commented that the misuse of technology by today’s youth has devastated society. The excess use of tech gadgets like mobile phones has a negative impact on young minds. They get inspired by what they see and apply it to their lives without realizing the consequences. In this case, banning things is not the answer. The solution is to provide alternative entertainment to the public so they can understand what is right for them and do not resort to inappropriate entertainment sources.
This Tuesday, PM Imran Khan tweeted,
‘’I strongly recommend the serial Yunus Emre being shown on PTV for all those who are interested in Sufism (Marayfat). ‘’
