The journey of life...
WHAT AMERICA always wanted was a puppet government in Baghdad; hence it invaded Iraq and unleashed terror on humanity. This is what bothered Aziz Burney, the editor of Rashtriya Sahara's Urdu daily Roznama. The result was a biography on the ousted Iraqi President Saddam Husain titled, "Safar Zindagi Ka" published by Dynamic Publications Private Limited, Meerut. It was released in New Delhi the other day. Why Saddam? So that the future generation does not forget America's design and "the cardinal truth about the America's conquest" is the reason Burney gives for penning down this book.
The book was released by the former Prime Minister of India, Inder Kumar Gujral, while famous litterateur Gopi Chand Narang presided over the function. Socialite Nafisa Ali and Asian Academy of Film and T.V. Director Sandeep Marwah and I.T.P.O General Manager Sajdur H. Khan also participated.
The book is published in both Urdu and Hindi.
