Urdu Mushaira outside Cannoli Cafe really happened on Saturday.
It all started with the restaurant owner’s mockery of its manager’s English-speaking skills and has gone a long way.
A number of fellows came out in support of the Urdu language and announced to hold a poetry session outside the cafe in Islamabad. Many thought that the announcement was just a prank but was not!
And Saturday night saw young poets in action reciting their Urdu poetry and speeches and the audience applauded the whole show.
From Saturday evening, young poets and others, mostly students, began to gather outside the eatery.
And the happenings from the day are being shared on social media
After the video went viral, social media users criticized the owner as well as launched a campaign to boycott the hotel, which also led to a sit-in at the restaurant on Saturday.
