Director, Rafi Peer Theatre Workshop, Faizan Peerzada has said that they have requested the government to provide financial assistance for organising Asia's largest performing arts festival which brings together the people, their art and their cultures.
He said that they have written letters to the President, Prime Minister and Chief Minister Punjab requesting them to support the international event.

The event is planned to go ahead in the last week of November.
