Lahore: Revolutionary poet Habib Jalib’s 18th death anniversary has observed to pay homage Jalib who was one of the most celebrated 20th century Pakistani Urdu poets.
He was a faithful democrat who opposed martial law, totalitarianism and state oppression. He was a member of the Communist Party Pakistan (CPP), and later joined the National Awami Party (NAP) when the CPP was banned countrywide. Jalib was first imprisoned during the martial law regime of Ayub Khan because of his defiant views on Ayub Khan’s capitalistic policies.
