Prime Minister Imran Khan on Tuesday took to Twitter to "strongly recommend" everyone to watch Turkish drama "Yunus Emre" for all those interested in Sufism
The cricketer turned politician spoke out to over 12 million of his followers on the micro-blogging site.
I strongly recommend the serial Yunus Emre being shown on PTV for all those who are interested in Sufism (Marayfat).

Earlier this year a video of the premiere interacting with the media went viral, as he shared his two cents on why the Turkish show Diriliş: Ertuğrul is a must-watch for the youth of the country.
In a minute-and-a-half long clip, the PM commented, “We’ve always had content from Hollywood and Bollywood which was then being showcased here. A third end culture was being promoted. That’s why I want our youth to know the difference between our values and theirs.”
He went on to add, “We have a culture with romance and history as well, however, it is also filled with Islamic values. Sadly, the content from Bollywood is full of vulgarity, which wasn’t the case three or four decades ago.”
The premiere continued, “Drug culture, sex crimes are on a high. I want a different culture to be aired so our youth can know that there is a way of life apart from questionable shows that have been airing.”
