Large number of boys, girls, teachers, parents and people visited world book fair.

In past anti-Muslim set on fire collection of books so that Muslims could not develop. Since Muslims were at forefront of scientific development even during that period, Muslims had relationship with books from eternity.

Tariq Shah said that due to lack of interest of government, less attention is on building libraries in country. Government should release special fund for maintenance of libraries and books so that apart from improving condition of libraries, collection of books can be increased.
