This was stated by Vice Chancellor University of Agriculture Faisalabad, UAF, Professor Dr Iqrar Ahmad Khan while inaugurating a two-day "Flower Festival" here at the Faculty of Agriculture Lawn on Tuesday evening.
While dispelling the misperception of the western world he said that the youth of country is a symbol of strength and hope as they express their feelings with the most sophisticated way by arranging and participating in such events which is a testament of natural taste and attitude of this region based upon tolerance and tranquillity. He maintained that fragrance could not be suppressed by a wave of terrorism.
He said the exhibition gives us a message of peace when the country is under the clutches of terrorism. Professor Barbara A Rasco from the School of Food Sciences, Washington State University lauded the efforts of the students.
