The pen has always empowered, educated and enlightened the people throughout the history but when in the hands of dictators and the notorious persons it has proved worst then sword and played havoc with the life of the nations. This was stated by the student speakers in speech competition on the topic “ Pen is mighter than sword” here held by Knowledge Centre Larkano on Sunday.

It was presided over by Prof. Dr. Mohmammad Ibrahim Keerio Principal Shaheed Zulifkar Ali Bhutto Agriculture College Dorki. Speaking on the occasion he said that the pen here is the symbol of knowledge and there are numerous examples in the history that sons of formers by using the pen have reached to the highest positions and ameliorated the lot of their nations with the power of their pen. Contesting student Urooj Arijo said the societies where pen is kept high they become democratic and accommodating in their nature but on the contrary sword rules the roost and suppresses the people and cuts the throats of those who want wisdom, reason and argument to flourish. Barkha Tunio said that said that though pen is real power but sword is the next name of Power. Tahra Samo said that weapon of the commanding authority is pen not sword.
