Kehwar Khan said, “Globally, the medium of theatre is utilised to promote education and progressive thoughts. If government supervises the genre of comedy, not only will it garner encouragement but people will also benefit from the positive culture in the province.”
Kehwar said, “People of Balochistan do not lack talent which is why without any solicited supervision organisations such as the Sangat Group are working for the provision of entertainment to people.”
Afzal Murad said, “Theatre has always been a trend in Balochistan. Actors’ morale will go through the roof with today’s event and in the days to come, this medium of entertainment will reclaim its space.”

Other speakers said that they had seen such a beautiful stage drama after a long time. “This trend needs to continue. Due to distress in the country, the locals are stressed out and need such recreational activities,” they added.
The speakers applauded the services of Kehwar as a writer, dramatist and actor while also appreciated the efforts of the Sangat Theatre.
A huge crowd, including men and women, came to see the show.
