The 15th death anniversary of Pashto poet and writer Professor Pareshan Khattak was observed on Tuesday.

He was born on December 10, 1931 in Karak.

His book, Pashtun Kon, is a worthy contribution to Pashto literature, which has clearly mentioned with evidence the origin of Pathans and is mentioned as a reference book all over the world.

He was awarded Tamgha-i-Imtiaz and Sitara-i-Imtiaz for his literary and national services.

Professor Pareshan died on this day in 2009 in Peshawar.
